+ <body>
+ <p> This quarter, support was added for fixed-width sysctls
+ (signed and unsigned 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, and 64-bit
+ integers). The new KPIs are documented in the sysctl(9) manual
+ page. The sysctl(8) command line tool supports all of the new
+ types.</p>
+
+ <p>Sysctl(8) gained the '-t' flag, which prints sysctl type
+ information (the original patch was submitted by Yoshihiro Ota).
+ This support includes the newly added fixed-width types.</p>
