sysctl() is in Linux (starting in 2.1.x), BSD4.4, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc.
sysctlbyname() is in FreeBSD (starting in 2.2).

Some of the Linux sysctl numbers are even binary compatible.  However,
all Linux filesystem sysctls are incompatible, starting with the top-level
identifier being named CTL_FS instead of CTL_VFS.
