.Sh NAME
.Nm sysctl
.Nd system information variables
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Xr sysctl 3
library function and the
.Xr sysctl 8
utility are used to get and set values of system variables, maintained
by the kernel.
The variables are organized in a tree and identified by a sequence of
numbers, conventionally separated by dots with the topmost identifier
at the left side.
The numbers have corresponding text names.
The
.Xr sysctlnametomib 3
function or the
.Fl M
argument to the
.Xr sysctl 8
utility can be used to convert the text representation to the
numeric one.
.Pp
The individual sysctl variables are described below, both the textual
and numeric form where applicable.
The textual names can be used as argument to the
.Xr sysctl 8
utility and in the file
.Pa /etc/sysctl.conf .
The numeric names are usually defined as preprocessor constants and
are intended for use by programs.
Every such constant expands to one integer, which identifies the
sysctl variable relative to the upper level of the tree.
See the
.Xr sysctl 3
manual page for programming examples.
.Ss Top level names
The top level names are defined with a
.Va CTL_
prefix in
.In sys/sysctl.h ,
and are as follows.
The next and subsequent levels down are found in the include files
listed here, and described in separate sections below.
.Bl -column "security" ".Dv CTL_SECURITY" ".In uvm/uvm_param.h" "High kernel limits"

.El
.Ss The debug.* subtree
The debugging variables vary from system to system.
A debugging variable may be added or deleted without need to recompile
.Nm
to know about it.
Each time it runs,
.Nm
gets the list of debugging variables from the kernel and
displays their current values.
The system defines twenty
.Vt ( struct ctldebug )
variables named
.Dv debug0
through
.Dv debug19 .
They are declared as separate variables so that they can be
individually initialized at the location of their associated variable.
The loader prevents multiple use of the same variable by issuing errors
if a variable is initialized in more than one place.
For example, to export the variable
.Va dospecialcheck
as a debugging variable, the following declaration would be used:
.Pp
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
int dospecialcheck = 1;
struct ctldebug debug5 = { "dospecialcheck", \*[Am]dospecialcheck };
.Ed
.Pp
Note that the dynamic implementation of
.Nm
currently in use largely makes this particular
.Nm
interface obsolete.
See
.Xr sysctl 8
.\" and
.\" .Xr sysctl 9
for more information.
.Ss The vfs.* subtree
A distinguished second level name,
.Li vfs.generic ( Dv VFS_GENERIC ) ,
is used to get general information about all file systems.
It has the following third level identifiers:
.Bl -tag -width "123456"
.It Li vfs.generic.maxtypenum ( Dv VFS_MAXTYPENUM )
The highest valid file system type number.
.It Li vfs.generic.conf ( Dv VFS_CONF )
Returns configuration information about the file system type given as a fourth
level identifier.
.It Li vfs.generic.usermount ( Dv VFS_USERMOUNT )
Determines if non superuser mounts are allowed, defaults to
.Dv 0 .
.It Li vfs.generic.magiclinks ( Dv VFS_MAGICLINKS )
Controls if expansion of variables is going to be performed on pathnames
or not.
Defaults to no variable expansion,
.Dv 0 .
Variables are of the form
.Li @name
and the variables supported are described in
.Xr symlink 7
under
.Dq "MAGIC SYMLINKS" .
.El
.Pp
A second level name for controlling the
.Xr wapbl 4
(Write Ahead Physical Block Logging file system journalling)
capabilities with the following third level identifiers:
.Bl -tag -width "123456"
.It Li vfs.wapbl.flush_disk_cache
Controls whether to attempt to flush the disk cache on each commit.
It defaults to 1 and it should always be on to ensure integrity
of file system metadata in the event of a power loss.
For slow disks, turning it off can improve performance.
.It Li vfs.wapbl.verbose_commit
For each transaction log commit, print the number of bytes written
and the time it took to commit as seconds.nanoseconds.
.El
.Pp
The remaining second level identifiers are the file system names, identified
by the type number returned by a
.Xr statvfs 2
call or from
.Li vfs.generic.conf .
.Pp
The third level identifiers available for each file system
are given in the header file that defines the mount
argument structure for that file system.

are added to the loopback interface instead of the interface where
the packets for those packets are received.

interface, and the largest (non-loopback) interface MTU on the system.
.It Li tcp.mssdflt
The default maximum segment size both advertised to the peer
and to use when either the peer does not advertise a maximum segment size to
us during connection setup or Path MTU Discovery

is disabled.

compressed state engine.
.It Li tcp.syn_cache_limit

.Pa core
file that may be created.

.It Li proc.pid.stopfork ( Dv PROC_PID_STOPFORK )
If non zero, the process' children will be stopped after
.Xr fork 2
calls.
The children is created in the SSTOP state and is never scheduled
for running before being stopped.
This feature helps attaching a process with a debugger such as
.Xr gdb 1
before it had the opportunity to actually do anything.
.Pp
This value is inherited by the process's children, and it also
apply to emulation specific system calls that fork a new process, such as
.Fn sproc
or
.Fn clone .
.It Li proc.pid.stopexec ( Dv PROC_PID_STOPEXEC )
If non zero, the process will be stopped on next
.Xr exec 3
call.
The process created by

is created in the SSTOP state and is never scheduled for running
before being stopped.
This feature helps attaching a process with a debugger such as

before it had the opportunity to actually do anything.
.Pp
This value is inherited by the process's children.
.It Li proc.pid.stopexit ( Dv PROC_PID_STOPEXIT )
If non zero, the process will be stopped on when it has cause to exit,
either by way of calling
.Xr exit 3 ,
.Xr _exit 2 ,
or by the receipt of a specific signal.
The process is stopped before any of its resources or vm space is
released allowing examination of the termination state of a process
before it disappears.
This feature can be used to examine the final conditions of the
process's vmspace via
.Xr pmap 1
or its resource settings with
.Xr sysctl 8
before it disappears.
.Pp
This value is also inherited by the process's children.
