.Sh NAME
.Nm sysctl
.Nd get or set system information
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <sys/param.h>
.Fd #include <sys/sysctl.h>
.Ft int
.Fn sysctl "int *name" "u_int namelen" "void *oldp" "size_t *oldlenp" "void *newp" "size_t newlen"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
function retrieves system information and allows processes with
appropriate privileges to set system information.
The information available from
.Nm
consists of integers, strings, and tables.
Information may be retrieved and set from the command interface
using the
.Xr sysctl 8
utility.
.Pp
Unless explicitly noted below,
.Nm
returns a consistent snapshot of the data requested.
Consistency is obtained by locking the destination
buffer into memory so that the data may be copied out without blocking.
Calls to
.Nm
are serialized to avoid deadlock.
.Pp
The state is described using a ``Management Information Base'' (MIB)
style name, listed in
.Fa name ,
which is a
.Fa namelen
length array of integers.
.Pp
The information is copied into the buffer specified by
.Fa oldp .
The size of the buffer is given by the location specified by
.Fa oldlenp
before the call,
and that location gives the amount of data copied after a successful call.
If the amount of data available is greater
than the size of the buffer supplied,
the call supplies as much data as fits in the buffer provided
and returns with the error code ENOMEM.
If the old value is not desired,
.Fa oldp
and
.Fa oldlenp
should be set to NULL.
.Pp
The size of the available data can be determined by calling
.Nm
with a NULL parameter for
.Fa oldp .
The size of the available data will be returned in the location pointed to by
.Fa oldlenp .
For some operations, the amount of space may change often.
For these operations,
the system attempts to round up so that the returned size is
large enough for a call to return the data shortly thereafter.
.Pp
To set a new value,
.Fa newp
is set to point to a buffer of length
.Fa newlen
from which the requested value is to be taken.
If a new value is not to be set,
.Fa newp
should be set to NULL and
.Fa newlen
set to 0.
.Pp
The top level names are defined with a CTL_ prefix in
.Pa <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.
.Pp
.Bl -column CTLXMACHDEPXXX "Next level namesXXXXXX" -offset indent
.It Sy Pa Name	Next level names	Description
.It CTL\_DEBUG	sys/sysctl.h	Debugging
.It CTL\_VFS	sys/mount.h	Filesystem
.It CTL\_HW	sys/sysctl.h	Generic CPU, I/O
.It CTL\_KERN	sys/sysctl.h	High kernel limits
.It CTL\_MACHDEP	sys/sysctl.h	Machine dependent
.It CTL\_NET	sys/socket.h	Networking

.El
.Pp
For example, the following retrieves the maximum number of processes allowed
in the system:
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
int mib[2], maxproc;
size_t len;
.sp
mib[0] = CTL_KERN;
mib[1] = KERN_MAXPROC;
len = sizeof(maxproc);
sysctl(mib, 2, &maxproc, &len, NULL, 0);
.Ed
.sp
To retrieve the standard search path for the system utilities:
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
int mib[2];
size_t len;
char *p;
.sp
mib[0] = CTL_USER;
mib[1] = USER_CS_PATH;
sysctl(mib, 2, NULL, &len, NULL, 0);
p = malloc(len);
sysctl(mib, 2, p, &len, NULL, 0);
.Ed
.Sh CTL_DEBUG
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
.Ns ( Va 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
.Dv dospecialcheck
as a debugging variable, the following declaration would be used:
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
int dospecialcheck = 1;
struct ctldebug debug5 = { "dospecialcheck", &dospecialcheck };
.Ed
.Sh CTL_VFS
A distinguished second level name, VFS_GENERIC,
is used to get general information about all filesystems.
One of its third level identifiers is VFS_MAXTYPENUM
that gives the highest valid filesystem type number.
Its other third level identifier is VFS_CONF that
returns configuration information about the filesystem
type given as a fourth level identifier.
The remaining second level identifiers are the
filesystem type number returned by a
.Xr statfs 2
call or from VFS_CONF.
The third level identifiers available for each filesystem
are given in the header file that defines the mount
argument structure for that filesystem.
.Sh CTL_HW
The string and integer information available for the CTL_HW level
is detailed below.
The changeable column shows whether a process with appropriate
privilege may change the value.

Discovery engine will time out.  When the route times out, the Path
MTU Discovery engine will attempt to probe a larger path MTU.
.It Li ip.gifttl
The maximum time-to-live (hop count) value for an IPv4 packet generated by
.Xr gif 4
tunnel interface.
.It Li icmp.errratelimit
This variable specifies the minimum interval between ICMP error messages,
in microseconds.
.It Li icmp.maskrepl
Returns 1 if ICMP network mask requests are to be answered.
.It Li tcp.rfc1323
Returns 1 if RFC1323 extensions to TCP are enabled.
.It Li tcp.sendspace
Returns the default TCP send buffer size.
.It Li tcp.recvspace
Returns the default TCP receive buffer size.
.It Li tcp.mssdflt
Returns the default maximum segment size both advertsized to the peer
and to use when the peer does not advertize a maximum segment size to
us during connection setup.  Do not change this value unless you really
know what you are doing.
.It Li tcp.syn_cache_limit
Returns the maximum number of entries allowed in the TCP compressed state
engine.
.It Li tcp.syn_bucket_limit
Returns the maximum number of entries allowed per hash bucket in the TCP
compressed state engine.
.It Li tcp.syn_cache_interval
Returns the TCP compressed state engine's timer interval.
.It Li tcp.init_win
Returns a value indicating the TCP initial congestion window.  If this
value is 0, an auto-tuning algorithm designed to use an initial window
of approximately 4K bytes is in use.  Otherwise, this value indicates
a fixed number of packets.
.It Li tcp.mss_ifmtu
Returns 1 if TCP calculates the outgoing maximum segment size based on
the MTU of the appropriate interface.  Otherwise, it is calculated based on
the greater of the MTU of the interface, and the largest (non-loopback)
interface MTU on the system.
.It Li tcp.sack
Returns a value which determines the level of Selective Acknowledgement
supported by TCP.  If 2, we will transmit and receive SACK options.
If 1, we will transmit SACK options, but ignore any SACK options received.
If 0, SACK is disabled.
.It Li tcp.win_scale
If rfc1323 is enabled, a value of 1 indicates RFC1323 window scale options,
for increasing the TCP window size, are enabled.
.It Li tcp.timestamps
If rfc1323 is enabled, a value of 1 indicates RFC1323 time stamp options,
used for measuring TCP round trip times, are enabled.
.It Li tcp.compat_42
Returns 1 if work-arounds for bugs in the 4.2BSD TCP implementation are
enabled.  Use of this option is not recommended, although it may be
required in order to communicate with extremely old TCP implementations.
.It Li tcp.cwm
Returns 1 if use of the Hughes/Touch/Heidemann Congestion Window Monitoring
algorithm is enabled.  This algorithm prevents line-rate bursts of packets
that could otherwise occur when data begins flowing on an idle TCP
connection.  These line-rate bursts can contribute to network and router
congestion.  This can be particularly useful on World Wide Web servers
which support HTTP/1.1, which has lingering connections.
.It Li tcp.cwm_burstsize
Returns the Congestion Window Monitoring allowed burst size, in terms
of packet count.
.It Li tcp.ack_on_push
Returns 1 if TCP is to immediately transmit an ACK upon reception of
a packet with PUSH set.  This can avoid losing a round trip time in some
rare situations, but has the caveat of potentially defeating TCP's delayed
ACK algorithm.  Use of this option is generally not recommended, but
the variable exists in case your configuration really needs it.
.It Li tcp.keepidle
Time a connection must be idle before keepalives are sent (if keepalives
are enabled for the connection).  See also tcp.slowhz.
.It Li tcp.keepintvl
Time after a keepalive probe is sent until, in the absence of any response,
another probe is sent.  See also tcp.slowhz.
.It Li tcp.keepcnt
Number of keepalive probes sent before declaring a connection dead.  If
set to zero, there is no limit; keepalives will be sent until some kind of
response is received from the peer.
.It Li tcp.slowhz
The units for tcp.keepidle and tcp.keepintvl; those variables are in ticks
of a clock that ticks tcp.slowhz times per second.  (That is, their values
must be divided by the tcp.slowhz value to get times in seconds.)
.It Li tcp.newreno
Returns 1 if the use of J. Hoe's NewReno congestion control algorithm is
enabled.  This algorithm improves the start-up behavior of TCP connections.
.It Li tcp.log_refused
Returns 1 if refused TCP connections to the host will be logged.
.It Li tcp.rstratelimit
This variable specifies minimum interval, in microseconds, between RSTs
sent in response to an incoming TCP packet with no corresponding listen
or connected socket.
.It Li udp.checksum
Returns 1 when UDP checksums are being computed and checked.
Disabling UDP checksums is strongly discouraged.
.It Li udp.sendspace
Returns the default UDP send buffer size.
.It Li udp.recvspace
Returns the default UDP receive buffer size.
