which eventually led me to _sysctl(2)...
"Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call; call it
using syscall(2). Or rather... don’t call it: use of this
system call has long been discouraged, and it is so unloved that
it is likely to disappear in a future kernel version. Remove
it from your programs now; use the /proc/sys interface
instead."
"unloved" => future catch 22
