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.
