As Michael noted, there are a variable number of sysctls, generally ranging i= n the hundreds or thousands, for controlling or querying system components/p= roperties. The user can optionally specify a description for a sysctl, which can be que= ries via =E2=80=9Csysctl -d=E2=80=9D (see =E2=80=9Cman 8 sysctl for more det= ails). There should also be a description of the sysctl in the implementing subsyst= em manpage, e.g., =E2=80=9Cman 4 inet=E2=80=9D briefly describes the IPv4 st= ack and some of its sysctl knobs. However, there are gaps, e.g., Linux compa= t hooks which convert sysfs entries to sysctls.=20 Good luck :). -Enji
