| MOUNT_SYSCTLFS(8) | System Manager's Manual | MOUNT_SYSCTLFS(8) | 
NAME
 mount_sysctlfs — mount sysctl namespace as a directory hierarchy
SYNOPSIS
| mount_sysctlfs | [-r] [-o mntopts] sysctlfs mount_point | 
 
DESCRIPTION
 The 
mount_sysctlfs program provides the 
sysctl(8) hierarchy through the file system namespace. It is possible to browse the tree, query node values and modify them. By default, the node contents are interpreted as ASCII. If the 
-r flag is given, the server uses raw mode and displays node contents as they are received from the kernel (binary).
 
HISTORY
 The mount_sysctlfs utility first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.
CAVEATS
 Raw mode [-r] does not currently support node modification.
