369a22fab1 Remove xref to blackhole(4). sysctl has nothing to do with 
blackhole(4), except that blackhole(4) uses sysctl's.  This xref
obviously isn't appropriate unless we want to xref all the other man
pages which mention sysctls, which we obviously don't (we may want to
list those sysctls, but that's another story).

9a2402bc41 Try to make sysctl options slightly more orthogonal: 
- introduce a -o option that displays opaque variables.
 - introduce a -x option that displays opaque variables in full.
 - deprecate -A in favor of -ao and -X in favor of -ax.
 - remove -A and -X from usage() and SYNOPSIS (but not from DESCRIPTION).
 - ignore -a if one or more variables were listed on the command line.
 - deprecate -w, it is not needed to determine the user's intentions.
 - some language and style cleanup in the man page.

This commit should not break any existing scripts.

ca5fac557f 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.

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.

750f8dc963 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.

e6373c9ec0 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
