## NAME

**device\_get\_sysctl\_ctx**, **device\_get\_sysctl\_tree** – manipulate the sysctl oid tree for driver specific sysctl nodes

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<sys/param.h\>**

**#include \<sys/bus.h\>**

*struct sysctl\_ctx\_list \**\

**device\_get\_sysctl\_ctx**(*device\_t dev*);

*struct sysctl\_oid \**\

**device\_get\_sysctl\_tree**(*device\_t dev*);

## DESCRIPTION

The newbus system automatically adds a sysctl node for each device in the system. This node can be accessed with the **device\_get\_sysctl\_tree**() function. The context for the node can be obtained with the **device\_get\_sysctl\_ctx**() function.
