	I was reading the sysctl(8) man page and saw references to
opaque
variables but no explanation of what these are. It did mentioned that
such information is retrieved by ps, systat, netstat and other
special purpose programs so I am guessing that the opaque data is
just data that is not displayed as plain text? Since I am probably
way off (I normally am :-)), I was hoping someone could enlighten me.
Thanks!
