# 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).

# SEE ALSO

puffs(3), puffs(4), mount(8), sysctl(8)

# HISTORY

The `mount_sysctlfs` utility first appeared in NetBSD 5.0.

# CAVEATS

Raw mode [`-r`] does not currently support node modification.
