The problem with using int or u_int for 1 or 2 byte values is that while printing these 1 or 2 byte values I observed that sysctl module is considering 4 bytes. Hence I see an undesired output. It is actually considering the next two bytes also as the value.

SYSCTL_ADD_INT, SYSCTL_ADD_UINT, etc., are present but to add a char or a short values I couldn't find any macros. Could you please let me know how to add them? FreeBSD does not have any sysctl handlers for 1 or 2 byte values. FreeBSD code that wants to do this has used int or u_int instead of a smaller type.
