NAME

       /proc/sys/ - system information, and sysctl pseudo-filesystem

DESCRIPTION

       /proc/sys/
              This  directory  (present  since  Linux  1.3.57)  contains  a  number  of files and
              subdirectories corresponding to kernel variables.  These variables can be read  and
              in  some  cases modified using the /proc filesystem, and the (deprecated) sysctl(2)
              system call.

              String values may be terminated by either '\0' or '\n'.

              Integer and long values may be written either in decimal or in hexadecimal notation
              (e.g.,  0x3FFF).   When  writing  multiple  integer  or  long  values, these may be
              separated by any of the following whitespace characters: ' ', '\t', or '\n'.  Using
              other separators leads to the error EINVAL.
