<body>
<p> This quarter, support was added for fixed-width sysctls
(signed and unsigned 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit
integers). The new KPIs are documented in the sysctl(9) manual
page. The sysctl(8) command line tool supports all of the new
types.</p>
<p>Sysctl(8) gained the '-t' flag, which prints sysctl type
information (the original patch was submitted by Yoshihiro Ota).
This support includes the newly added fixed-width types.</p>
