-.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 .
