  Documentation for /proc/sys/		kernel version 2.2.10
  	(c) 1998, 1999,  Rik van Riel <riel@nl.linux.org>
  
  'Why', I hear you ask, 'would anyone even _want_ documentation
  for them sysctl files? If anybody really needs it, it's all in
  the source...'
  
  Well, this documentation is written because some people either
  don't know they need to tweak something, or because they don't
  have the time or knowledge to read the source code.
  
  Furthermore, the programmers who built sysctl have built it to
  be actually used, not just for the fun of programming it :-)
  
  ==============================================================
  
  Legal blurb:
  
  As usual, there are two main things to consider:
  1. you get what you pay for
  2. it's free
  
  The consequences are that I won't guarantee the correctness of
  this document, and if you come to me complaining about how you
  screwed up your system because of wrong documentation, I won't
  feel sorry for you. I might even laugh at you...
  
  But of course, if you _do_ manage to screw up your system using
  only the sysctl options used in this file, I'd like to hear of
  it. Not only to have a great laugh, but also to make sure that
  you're the last RTFMing person to screw up.
  
  In short, e-mail your suggestions, corrections and / or horror
  stories to: <riel@nl.linux.org>

  ==============================================================
  
  Introduction:
  
  Sysctl is a means of configuring certain aspects of the kernel
  at run-time, and the /proc/sys/ directory is there so that you
  don't even need special tools to do it!
  In fact, there are only four things needed to use these config
  facilities:
  - a running Linux system
  - root access
  - common sense (this is especially hard to come by these days)
  - knowledge of what all those values mean
  
  As a quick 'ls /proc/sys' will show, the directory consists of
  several (arch-dependent?) subdirs. Each subdir is mainly about
  one part of the kernel, so you can do configuration on a piece
  by piece basis, or just some 'thematic frobbing'.
  
  The subdirs are about:
  abi/		execution domains & personalities
  debug/		<empty>
  dev/		device specific information (eg dev/cdrom/info)
  fs/		specific filesystems
  		filehandle, inode, dentry and quota tuning
  		binfmt_misc <Documentation/binfmt_misc.txt>
  kernel/		global kernel info / tuning
  		miscellaneous stuff
  net/		networking stuff, for documentation look in:
  		<Documentation/networking/>
  proc/		<empty>
  sunrpc/		SUN Remote Procedure Call (NFS)
  vm/		memory management tuning
  		buffer and cache management
  
  These are the subdirs I have on my system. There might be more
  or other subdirs in another setup. If you see another dir, I'd
  really like to hear about it :-)
