Hi,

i notice that some (static) kernel data structures are exported to user
space using the sysctl interface, and that makes life easy for programs
that want to access these things -- examples are statistics etc.

Now, i wonder if (and then how) i can use the same interface for
exporting dynamic data structures, e.g. things like "struct ifnet"
which are allocated more or less dynamically.

	thanks
	luigi
