993fa37970 Add a -N option that makes sysctl(8) print out just the variable names.
Zsh users can add the following to their .zshrc for sysctl completion:

function listsysctls {
    case $1 in
    *.*) set -A reply $(sysctl -AN ${1%.*}) ;;
    *) set -A reply $(sysctl -AN) ;;
    esac
}
compctl -K listsysctls sysctl

While I'm here, brucify the getopt() switch.

11e8e4bacd Give correct results for SYSCTL_LONG arrays when sizeof(int) != sizeof(long)
This fixes unaligned access on alpha for, eg, sysctl kern.ipc.mbtypes.

b6e74b58eb Support for unsigned integer and long sysctl variables. Update the
SYSCTL_LONG macro to be consistent with other integer sysctl variables
and require an initial value instead of assuming 0.  Update several
sysctl variables to use the unsigned types.

808a36ef65 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

3b6e5aad90 Removed references to pathconf-related variables that were never handled
by sysctl and never can be in their documented form (kern.name_max would
have to become fs.filesystemname.name_max, etc.).

Added missing references to user.stream_max and user.tzname_max.  These
seem to misnamed.  <sys/sysconf.h> says that they correspond to POSIX2
names, but the sysconf names don't have POSIX2 or "posix2" like all the
other POSIX2 names.

a5eaebecd0 Implement maxprocperuid and maxfilesperproc. They are tunable
via sysctl(8). The initial value of maxprocperuid is maxproc-1,
that of maxfilesperproc is maxfiles (untill maxfile will disappear)

Now it is at least possible to prohibit one user opening maxfiles
