+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm sysctl
+.Nd get or set system information
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In sys/sysctl.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn sysctl "const int *name" "u_int namelen" "void *oldp" "size_t *oldlenp" "void *newp" "size_t newlen"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn sysctl
+function retrieves system information and allows processes with
+appropriate privileges to set system information.
+The information available from
+.Fn sysctl
+consists of integers, strings, and tables.
+Information may be retrieved and set using the
+.Xr sysctl 8
+utility;
+the variable names used by this utility are given here in parentheses.
+.Pp
+Unless explicitly noted below,
+.Fn sysctl
+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
+.Fn sysctl
+are serialized to avoid deadlock.
+.Pp
+The state is described using a
+.Dq 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
+.Er ENOMEM .
+If the old value is not desired,
+.Fa oldp
+and
+.Fa oldlenp
+should be set to
+.Dv NULL .
+.Pp
+The size of the available data can be determined by calling
+.Fn sysctl
+with a
+.Dv 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
+The terminating NUL character is included in the lengths of string values.
+.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
+.Dv NULL
+and
+.Fa newlen
+set to 0.
+.Pp
+The top level names are defined with a
+.Dv CTL_
+prefix in
+.In 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.

+.Ss CTL_DDB
+Integer information and settable variables are available for the
+.Dv CTL_DDB level ,
+as described below.
+More information is also available in
+.Xr ddb 4 .

+.El
+.Bl -tag -width "123456"
+.It Dv DBCTL_CONSOLE Pq Va ddb.console
+When this variable is set, an architecture dependent magic key sequence
+on the console or a debugger button will permit entry into the kernel debugger.
+When running with a
+.Xr securelevel 7
+greater than 0,
+this variable may not be raised.
+.It Dv DBCTL_LOG Pq Va ddb.log
+When set, ddb output is also logged in the kernel message buffer.
+.It Dv DBCTL_MAXLINE Pq Va ddb.max_line
+Determines the number of lines to page in

+When this variable is set, system panics may drop into the kernel debugger.
+When running with a
+.Xr securelevel 7
+greater than 0,
+this variable may not be raised.

+When running with a
+.Xr securelevel 7
+greater than 0,
+the process writing to this variable must be running
+on the console in order to enter
+.Xr ddb 4 .
+.El
+.Ss CTL_DEBUG
+The debugging variables vary from system to system.
+A debugging variable may be added or deleted without need to recompile
+.Fn sysctl
+to know about it.
+Each time it runs,
+.Fn sysctl
+gets the list of debugging variables from the kernel and
+displays their current values.
+The system defines twenty
+.Li struct ctldebug
+variables named
+.Va debug0
+through
+.Va 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
+.Va dospecialcheck
+as a debugging variable, the following declaration would be used:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+int dospecialcheck = 1;
+struct ctldebug debug5 = { "dospecialcheck", &dospecialcheck };
