This quarter, support was added for fixed-width sysctls + (signed and unsigned 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit + integers). The new KPIs are documented in the sysctl(9) manual + page. The sysctl(8) command line tool supports all of the new + types.

+ +

Sysctl(8) gained the '-t' flag, which prints sysctl type + information (the original patch was submitted by Yoshihiro Ota). + This support includes the newly added fixed-width types.
