Get sysctl value from a C program
Hi!
I was wondering how could I get/set a sysctl value from a C program. For example I want to get the value of 'sysctl kern.osrelease' or something else.. For setting env variables I could use setenv() or getenv(), but can I get the value of a sysctl string from a C program and how? Thanks! EDIT: I've found it, I must have missed the sysctl() prototype in sys/sysctl.h. After reading the sysctl(3) man page gave me the needed results Last edited by DNAeon; 29th September 2008 at 10:45 AM. |

See sysctl(3).

Thanks, Carpetsmoker, but I've found it after a short time after I posted to the forum - that's why I've edited my post above
