Many sysctls that return non-ascii or non-numeric values don't have any
special handlers in sysctl(8), so they are silently omitted from the
listing. However, you should see them with -A... You can also write a
trivial 10 line program to try and retrieve the values by calling
sysctlbyname (or sysctl if you know the OIDs).
