#include <kstat.h>

kstat_ctl_t *kstat_open(void);

int kstat_close(kstat_ctl_t *kc);

Description

kstat_open() initializes a kstat control structure, which provides access to the kernel statistics library. It returns a pointer to this structure, which must be supplied as the kc argument in subsequent libkstat function calls.

kstat_close() frees all resources that were associated with kc. This is done automatically on exit(2) and execve() (see exec(2) ).

Return Values

kstat_close() returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.
