sysctl. Add a protocol-independent sysctl handler to show the per-protocol
"struct ifq' statistics. Add IP(v4) specific call to the handler.
Other protocols can show their per-protocol input statistics by
allocating a sysclt node and calling sysctl_ifq() with their own struct ifq *.
As posted to tech-kern plus improvements/cleanup suggested by Andrew Brown.
* by default, warning messages go to stderr
* if -A or -a is used, send warning messages to stdout instead.
The behaviour in 1.50 meant that
somevar=`sysctl -n machdep.booted_kernel 2>/dev/null`
could end up with $somevar="machdep.booted_kernel: the value is not available"
rather than the more useful $somevar="".
(This way, "sysctl -A | grep ..." is still useful.)
for forking the traditional UNIX init(8) and it does the Mach port naming
service. We need mach_init for the naming service, but unfortunately, it
will only act as such if its PID is 1. We introduce a sysctl
(emul.darwin.init_pid) to fool a given process into thinking its PID is 1.
That way we can get mach_init into behaving as the name server.
Typical use:
/sbin/sysctl -w emul.darwin.init_pid=$$ ; exec /emul/darwin/sbin/mach_init
These are of use to userland code which previously depended on the
hard-coded values of LABELSECTOR and LABELOFFSET to figure out the
location of the disklabel for a particular platform.
With the introduction of umbrella ports such as evbarm, evbmips, etc,
the location of the disklabel may vary between kernels for the same
MACHINE. This sysctl will allow userland programs to remain independent
of the particular flavour of MACHINE in such cases.
that can be used to block a process after fork(2) or exec(2) calls. The
new process is created in the SSTOP state and is never scheduled for running.
This feature is designed so that it is esay to attach the process using gdb
before it has done anything.
It works also with sproc, kthread_create, clone...
