The "ctl" utilities are a key part of BSD, they don't "ignore" the everything is a file concept.. but they also don't overuse it like Plan 9/Linux did/do.
Code:
bioctl iopctl pfctl relayctl sysctl
atactl dvmrpctl ipsecctl pppctl ripctl
audioctl mixerctl radioctl snmpctl wsconsctl
bgpctl gpioctl ospfctl raidctl swapctl usbhidctl
