The sysctl(3) manpage says that arg 4 is a pointer to the length of the
storage area pointed to by arg 3. In fact, there's an example in the
manpage:
mib[0] = CTL_KERN;
mib[1] = KERN_MAXPROC;
len = sizeof(maxproc);
sysctl(mib, 2, &maxproc, &len, NULL, 0);
Note: always compile your programs with -Wall. gcc would have flagged
this as:
test.c:18: warning: passing arg 4 of `sysctl' makes pointer from integer without a cast
