sysctl vs /proc/sys

[YOSHIFUJI Hideaki / 吉藤英明]

Hello.

sysctl(2) seems to be deprecated, but
IMHO, /proc/sys cannot be the alternative
because it cannot return "previous" value atomicly.

I would say it is okay to leave sysctl(2)
because the interface is very common.
Or, I'd rather propose introducing sysctlbyname(2).

.. or do I miss something?
