+.SH NAME
+/proc/sys/ \- system information, and sysctl pseudo-filesystem
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.TP
+.I /proc/sys/
+This directory (present since Linux 1.3.57) contains a number of files
+and subdirectories corresponding to kernel variables.
+These variables can be read and in some cases modified using
+the \fI/proc\fP filesystem, and the (deprecated)
+.BR sysctl (2)
+system call.
+.IP
+String values may be terminated by either \[aq]\e0\[aq] or \[aq]\en\[aq].
+.IP
+Integer and long values may be written either in decimal or in
+hexadecimal notation (e.g., 0x3FFF).
+When writing multiple integer or long values, these may be separated
+by any of the following whitespace characters:
+\[aq]\ \[aq], \[aq]\et\[aq], or \[aq]\en\[aq].
+Using other separators leads to the error
+.BR EINVAL .
