Changes for version 0.02 - 2006-08-31

  • You can now set the values of variables (assuming they are not read-only).
  • Fixed up coredumps when sysctl values are zero-length ASCII strings. Removed the %MIB_SKIP hack.
  • Use a buffer sized for the size of the result, rather than a fixed-length buffer, to retrieve sysctl values that are very large (larger than BUFSIZ). Perhaps still sub-optimal.
  • Avoided using unnecessary BUFSIZ-sized buffers in a couple of places.
  • Added a sysctl_description() function to return the OS-defined descriptive name of a sysctl variable.
  • Now able to retrieve opaque values like kern.geom.confxml.
  • Use RETVAL directly in _mib_lookup().
  • Detabbed various files.
