Update the sysctl_ctx_init(9) manual page with the following

kern/kern_sysctl.c#rev1.112 on 2001-07-25, and defined as
CTL_AUTO_START in sys/sysctl.h#rev1.98.

# 158110 28-Apr-2006 rwatson

Add a basic man page for the sysctl(9) macro interfaces. Previously man
pages existed only for the dynamic sysctl interfaces. There's probably
more complete and accurate content, better advice, etc, that could be added
here.

Per scottl's suggest, add a small piece of moralizing text regarding the
fact that sysctl names quickly get embedded in system configuration files,
libraries, third party applications, and even books, so renaming and
removing names after they've been published is a tricky issue.

# 79727 14-Jul-2001 schweikh

Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

# 67714 27-Oct-2000 asmodai

Use FreeBSD.org, not freebsd.org, as has been the precedent.


# 63494 19-Jul-2000 sheldonh

Clean up this new manual page. This delta includes content and
whitespace changes, which should not be a problem because this
is only the second revision of the file and translators are
unlikely to have gotten started yet.

These patches implement dynamic sysctls. It's possible now to add
and remove sysctl oids at will during runtime - they don't rely on
linker sets. Also, the node oids can be referenced by more than
one kernel user, which means that it's possible to create partially
overlapping trees.

Add sysctl contexts to help programmers manage multiple dynamic
oids in convenient way.

Please see the manpages for detailed discussion, and example module
for typical use.

This work is based on ideas and code snippets coming from many
people, among them: Arun Sharma, Jonathan Lemon, Doug Rabson,
Brian Feldman, Kelly Yancey, Poul-Henning Kamp and others. I'd like
to specially thank Brian Feldman for detailed review and style
fixes.
