How to detect single user mode in FreeBSD ?

Hi,


I am writing an fsck wrapper which first needs to check if the system is 
in single user mode.

Under Linux, there appears to be a sysctl that shows whether the system 
is in single user

mode:  sysctl -n kern.singleuser. Is there some similar facility under 
FreeBSD too ?


Thanks for any tips.
