Hmmm...
From sysctl(8):
The following options are available:
-a List all the currently available string or integer values.
[...]
-d Display the description rather than the value of the requested
variable(s).
And yet when I do ``syctl -ad'':
sysctl: sysctl name -1 1024 2: No such file or directory
What am I missing?
Ciao,
Sheldon.
