Hello list.
If I want to check a sysctl value from within the kernel (e.g. an KLD),
should I use the system calls described in sysctl(3) ?
If not, what is the propper way to do so ?
And if it is and I want to do error checking e.g:
if((sysctl(name, namelen, &val, NULL, 0)) != 0) {
"Error in call to sysctl(3) blah blah blah";
}
What would be the correct way to report,stop, &c ?
This is propaply depentand on what I'm doing so...
If this is A&A I'm sorry for the noize, I have not been able to find
anything on google/archives. (It's late ;)
