variables. Use the -d flag in sysctl(8) to see this information.
Possible extensions to sysctl:
+ report variables that do not have a description
+ given a name, report the oid it maps to.
Note to developers: have a look at your code, there are a number of
variables which do not have a description.
Note to developers: do we want this in 4.5 ? It is a very small change
and very useful for documentation purposes.

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.
This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.
For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:
Subject: Using a larger block size on large filesystems
The discussion ceases to be relevant when the issue of partitioning
schemes is raised.
This flag adds a pausing utility. When ran with -p, during the kernel
probing phase, the kernel will pause after each line of output.
This pausing can be ended with the '.' key, and is automatically
suspended when entering ddb.
This flag comes in handy at systems without a serial port that either hang
during booting or reser.

The problem arises because the subdirectory only gets its entry
cleared from usedinomap if it is also present in dumpinomap, and it is
the absence of a directory in usedinomap that internally indicates
that the directory is under the effects of UF_NODUMP (either directly
or inherited).

ratio, because the impact of others ratios has not been adequately
investigated.
Also, do not recommend the use of the -c option in the example, since
newfs now automatically calculates the best cyl:cylgrp ratio.
This change was discussed with the author of rev 1.29.
These were mainly missing casts or wrong format strings in printf

The choice of `long' vs `int' still seems almost random in a lot
