#!/bin/sh # # $FreeBSD$ # ################################################################# # Missing Features: # It would be nice to have OIDs separated into composite groups # using the subsection mdoc(7) feature (.Ss) without adding extra # files. # # The ability to notice when new OIDs are added to FreeBSD, and # and the automation of their sorting and addition into the # tunables.mdoc file. # # Perhaps a re-implementation in C? This wouldn't be much of # a challenge for the right individual but it may require a lot # of changes to sysctl.h. Eventually this utility should replace # documenting sysctls in code and manual pages since this utility # creates a manual page dynamicly based on the kernel. This # would kill duplication between manual pages and kernel code as # well as improve the removal of sysctls when they are obsoleted. ################################################################# # Set our path up.

This script was forged as a way to automatically produce a manual page to aid in the administration and configuration of a .Fx system.

Many values may be altered simply by using the .Xr sysctl 8 utility followed by a .Nm and its new value at the command prompt. For example: .Dl sysctl kern.ipc.zero_copy.receive=1 will enable zero copy sockets for receive. .Pp Many variables may only be available if specific kernel options are built into the kernel. For example, the previous .Nm requires .Xr zero_copy 9 . .Pp Most of these values only offer an enable/disable option, altered by using a numerical value of .Dq 0 or .Dq 1 where the former is disable and latter is enable. Other cases the .Nm may require a string value. The .Xr sysctl 8 utility may be used to dump a list of current values which should provide an example of the non-numeric cases. .Pp In cases where the value may not be altered, the following warning will be issued: .Dq read only value and the .Nm will not be changed. To alter these values, the administrator may place them in the .Xr sysctl.conf 5 file. This will invoke the changes during system initialization for those values which may be altered. In other cases, the .Xr loader.conf 5 may be used. Then again, some of these .Nm sysctls may never be altered. .Pp The .Nm supported by .Xr sysctl 8 are: .Pp .Bl -ohang -offset indent EOF } # # The nm(1) utility must only be used on the architecture which # we build it for.
