SYSCTLTUI(8)		    System Manager's Manual		  SYSCTLTUI(8)

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 retriev-
       ing  and	 modifying system state	at runtime.  System parameters are ex-
       posed as	objects	of a "Management Information Base"  (MIB).   sysctltui
       sysctltui allows	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
       kernel 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
