== NAME

nng_stat_string - get statistic string value

== SYNOPSIS

[source, c]
----
#include <nng/nng.h>

typedef struct nng_stat nng_stat;

const char *nng_stat_string(nng_stat *stat);
----

== DESCRIPTION

The `nng_stat_string()` function returns a string value for the statistic _stat_,
which must be of type `NNG_STAT_STRING` (see xref:nng_stat_type.3.adoc[`nng_stat_type(3)`]).

If the statistic is not of type `NNG_STAT_STRING`, then `NULL` will be returned.

NOTE: The returned string is valid until xref:nng_stats_free.3.adoc[`nng_stats_free()`] is called to
free the memory for the snapshot.

== RETURN VALUES

The string value associated with _stat_, or `NULL` if the statistic is not
a string type.

== ERRORS

None.
