NAME
     sysctltui -- TUI utility to get or set system state

SYNOPSIS
     sysctltui [-h | -v]
     sysctltui [-d | -V] [-f] [-e label] [-l label] [-i indent] [-s label]

DESCRIPTION
     The  sysctltui  utility provides a text user interface (TUI) for retrieving
     and modifying system state at runtime.  System parameters	are  exposed  as
     objects  of a "Management Information Base" (MIB).  sysctltui sysctltui al-
     lows users to navigate the MIB, display the properties of a parameter,  and
     retrieve or modify its value.

     sysctltui	requires the sysctlinfo(4) interface.  To load the required ker-
     nel module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   sysctlinfo_load="YES"

     The following options are available:

     -d      Show parameter descriptions in the main window.

     -e label
	     Set label as prefix for nodes with expandable subtree, default "+".

     -f      Display full parameter names in the main window.  The full name  of
	     the  parameter  currently	in  focus  within  the main window is no
	     longer shown at the bottom of the screen.

     -h      Print a help message and exit.

     -i indent
	     Set indent as the visual depth of subtrees.

     -l label
	     Set label as prefix for leaf nodes, default no string.

     -s label
	     Set label as prefix for nodes with expanded subtrees, default "-".

     -V      Display parameter values in the main window

     -v      Print version and quit.

EXIT STATUS
     The sysctltui utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

COMPATIBILITY
     Layout similar to sysctl(8) and nsysctl(8):
	   % [n]sysctl -a	    % sysctltui -fV -i 0
	   % [n]sysctl -an	    % sysctltui -f -i 0
	   % [n]sysctl -ad	    % sysctltui -fd -i 0
