SYSCTL(8) System Administration SYSCTL(8) NAME sysctl - configure kernel parameters at runtime SYNOPSIS sysctl [options] [variable[=value]] [...] sysctl -p [file or regexp] [...] DESCRIPTION sysctl is used to modify kernel parameters at runtime. The parameters available are those listed under /proc/sys/. Procfs is required for sysctl support in Linux. You can use sysctl to both read and write sysctl data. PARAMETERS variable The name of a key to read from. An example is kernel.ostype. The '/' separator is also accepted in place of a '.'. variable=value To set a key, use the form variable=value where variable is the key and value is the value to set it to. If the value contains quotes or characters which are parsed by the shell, you may need to enclose the value in double quotes. -n, --values Use this option to disable printing of the key name when printing values. -e, --ignore Use this option to ignore errors about unknown keys. -N, --names Use this option to only print the names. It may be useful with shells that have programmable completion. -q, --quiet Use this option to not display the values set to stdout. -w, --write Use this option when all arguments prescribe a key to be set. -p[FILE], --load[=FILE] Load in sysctl settings from the file specified or /etc/sysctl.conf if none given. Specifying - as filename means reading data from standard input. Using this option will mean arguments to sysctl are files, which are read in the order they are spec- ified. The file argument may be specified as regular expression. -a, --all Display all values currently available. --deprecated Include deprecated parameters to --all values listing. -b, --binary Print value without new line. --system Load settings from all system configuration files. Files are read from directories in the following list in given order from top to bottom. Once a file of a given filename is loaded, any file of the same name in subsequent directories is ignored. /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /run/sysctl.d/*.conf /usr/local/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf /usr/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf /lib/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf -r, --pattern pattern Only apply settings that match pattern. The pattern uses extended regular expres- sion syntax. -A Alias of -a -d Alias of -h -f Alias of -p -X Alias of -a -o Does nothing, exists for BSD compatibility. -x Does nothing, exists for BSD compatibility. -h, --help Display help text and exit. -V, --version Display version information and exit. EXAMPLES /sbin/sysctl -a /sbin/sysctl -n kernel.hostname /sbin/sysctl -w kernel.domainname="example.com" /sbin/sysctl -p/etc/sysctl.conf /sbin/sysctl -a --pattern forward /sbin/sysctl -a --pattern forward$ /sbin/sysctl -a --pattern 'net.ipv4.conf.(eth|wlan)0.arp' /sbin/sysctl --system --pattern '^net.ipv6' DEPRECATED PARAMETERS The base_reachable_time and retrans_time are deprecated. The sysctl command does not al- low changing values of these parameters. Users who insist to use deprecated kernel inter- faces should push values to /proc file system by other means. For example: echo 256 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/neigh/eth0/base_reachable_time FILES /proc/sys /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /run/sysctl.d/*.conf /usr/local/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf /usr/lib/sysctl.d/*.conf /lib/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf SEE ALSO sysctl.conf(5) regex(7) AUTHOR George Staikos <staikos AT 0wned.org> REPORTING BUGS Please send bug reports to <procps AT freelists.org> procps-ng 2020-02-27 SYSCTL(8)
