diff for sbin/sysctl.8 man page
Hi,
$ man sysctl
shows
Name Type Changeable
kern.osreldate string no
i write a program that fails when reading string,
but when trying read the value as int it works,
for example:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/sysctl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void osreldate_as_int() {
int reldate;
size_t len = sizeof(int);
sysctlbyname("kern.osreldate" , &reldate , &len , NULL , 0);
printf("%d\n",reldate);
}
int main() {
osreldate_as_int();
return 0;
}
you can see libc, it reads as integer
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/blob/master/lib/libc/gen/__getosreldate.c
the line
https://github.com/sternix/freebsd/blob/master/sbin/sysctl/sysctl.8#L217
might be
.It "kern.osreldate integer no"
i think,
Thanks.
