Go-kstat provides a Go API for the kstat kernel statistics system on Solaris, Illumos, OmniOS, and other Solaris derived systems. For general information on kstats, see the kstat(1) and kstat(3kstat) manpages. For more documentation on the details of the package, see doc.go, kstat_solaris.go, types_solaris_amd64.go, and raw_solaris.go.

The API supports access to 'named' kstat statistics, IO statistics, and the most common and useful sorts of 'raw' kstat statistics (unix:0:sysinfo, unix:0:vminfo, unix:0:var, and mnt:*:mntinfo). Other raw kstat statistics are not explicitly supported, but the API provides some escape hatches for access to custom raw statistics.

This is a cgo-based package so it can't be cross compiled like a regular Go package. It may also have bugs with memory management, since it interacts with the Solaris kstat library and holds references to memory that's been dynamically allocated in C.

See kstat-godoc.txt for a text dump of the full godoc for the package. Unfortunately Go tool limitations appear to make it impossible to see full package documentation on anything except a Solaris machine (including https://godoc.org/, sadly).

Bug reports and other contributions are highly welcome.
