Looking at the source, that sysctl definition is CTLTYPE_OPAQUE with a display format of "I", which means that it's just an array of integers. Print each one in a loop. You can also take a look at /usr/src/sbin/sysctl/sysctl.c to see how it printed the numbers. -- Dan Nelson dnel...@allantgroup.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
