Author: jilles Date: Wed May 5 22:00:57 2010 New Revision: 207679 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/207679 Log: MFC r207186: sysctl(3): Update description of various kern.* variables. Also add xrefs for confstr(3) (as sysconf(3) but for strings) and kvm(3) (which is a more convenient way to access some of the variables).
