Hi,
Well, I kind of figured out I probably need to use SYSCTL_PROC, and
applied the following patch to machdep.c:
Index: machdep.c
===================================================================
RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/i386/i386/machdep.c,v
retrieving revision 1.307
diff -r1.307 machdep.c

> }
>
> SYSCTL_PROC(_machdep, OID_AUTO, msgbuf, CTLTYPE_STRUCT|CTLFLAG_RD,
> 0, 0, sysctl_hw_msgbuf, "S,msgbuf","");
>
and I wrote a simple program to get the info (attached).
BUT... it returns garbage instead of msbguf contents...
Also, there is yet another problem which I need to solve: with above
sysctl I get only the msgbufp contents, and I need to also know the value
of struct msgbuf in order to know where to start and stop reading.
Any suggestions are appreciated...
