Hmmm.... that is interesting. Perl basically just dumps this out as
named values. I wonder if it is not an entirely insane idea that the
stats could have been supplied as KSTAT_TYPE_NAMED in the first place?
(I've always believed that raw kstats were for sharing data data
structures that were opaque. The very fact that kstat(1) unpacks these
makes them no longer opaque.)
If they are opaque, they aren't exactly much use.
Is there some compelling reason for these kstats to be RAW that I'm missing?
Only Hysterical Raisins.
The funny thing is that the way these are exported back into userland
from the perl module makes it non-obvious that they are not named kstats
as it is.
Ehhhhh...... that's the whole point, actually.
