sysctlview freshports.org/deskutils/sysct is a GUI utility for sysctl on . :freebsd:
It's probably my first project 👨‍💻 , it's still in the Ports Collection 📦 and runs fine, but it hasn't been updated in years.

Maybe it's finally time to brush up on ++ and give sysctlview a proper rewrite.
The original version uses ( for C++), but a few years ago I ran a poll and most people preferred
So maybe a QTsysctlview is on the horizon? 👀
