Modified files:
sys/sys sysctl.h
sys/kern kern_sysctl.c
sbin/sysctl sysctl.8 sysctl.c
Log:
Add code to export and print the description associated to sysctl
variables. Use the -d flag in sysctl(8) to see this information.
Possible extensions to sysctl:
+ report variables that do not have a description
+ given a name, report the oid it maps to.
Note to developers: have a look at your code, there are a number of
variables which do not have a description.
Note to developers: do we want this in 4.5 ? It is a very small change
and very useful for documentation purposes.
