The

kernel state tunables that can be set at boot time using
.Xr sysctl 8
(using the

switch)
via the
.Pa /etc/rc.d/sysctl
startup script.
.Pp
The state to be set is described using a
.Dq Management Information Base
.Pq Dq MIB
style name.
The MIB and value must be separated by
.Sq =
with no whitespace, for example:
.Pp
.Ar name Ns Li = Ns Ar value
.Pp
Blank lines, lines with just
.Ar name ,
and comments (beginning with
.Sq # )
are ignored.
Line continuations using backslash
.Sq \e
are permitted.
Only integral and string values can be set.
