Subject: sysctl vs /proc/sys
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2003 21:58:37 +0900 (JST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20031212.215837.31545329.yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> (raw)
Hello.
sysctl(2) seems to be deprecated, but
IMHO, /proc/sys cannot be the alternative
because it cannot return "previous" value atomicly.
I would say it is okay to leave sysctl(2)
because the interface is very common.
Or, I'd rather propose introducing sysctlbyname(2).
.. or do I miss something?
