Hi,
I now have installed 2.2-current as of 22-december and I found out
that kern_sysctl.c have gone thew a lot of changes, and that have
given me a question:
There's some new interfaces in the sysctl MIB that's not
documented but there is a comment that says:
/*
* "Staff-functions"
*
* These functions implement a presently undocumented interface
* used by the sysctl program to walk the tree, and get the type
* so it can print the value.
* This interface is under work and consideration, and should probably
* be killed with a big axe by the first person who can find the time.
* (be aware though, that the proper interface isn't as obvious as it
* may seem, there are various conflicting requirements.
*
* {0,0} printf the entire MIB-tree.
* {0,1,...} return the name of the "..." OID.
* {0,2,...} return the next OID.
* {0,3} return the OID of the name in "new"
* {0,4,...} return the kind & format info for the "..." OID.
*/
I guess there is some essential things that isn't working
(0.4.hw.devconf.x for example), is there any ongoing work or any
forum where this is discussed?
