https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217501 Bug ID: 217501 Summary: kern.osreldate sysctl might be integer not string Product: Documentation Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: Documentation Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org Reporter: sternix@gmail.com Created attachment 180445 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=180445&action=edit diff for sbin/sysctl.8 man page Hi, $ man sysctl shows Name Type Changeable kern.osreldate string no i write a program that fails when reading string, but when trying read the value as int it works, for example: #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/sysctl.h> #include <stdio.h> void osreldate_as_int() { int reldate; size_t len = sizeof(int); sysctlbyname("kern.osreldate" , &reldate , &len , NULL , 0); printf("%d\n",reldate); } int main() { osreldate_as_int(); return 0; } you can see libc, it reads as integer https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/lib/libc/gen/__getosreldate.c the line https://github.com/sternix/freebsd/blob/master/sbin/sysctl/sysctl.8#L217 might be .It "kern.osreldate integer no" i think, Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
