New Revision: 207658
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/207658

Log:
  Merge r203310,203547,203717 from head:
  
    Implement the "-i" option to sysctl(8), to ignore failures while
    retrieving individual OIDs.  This allows the same list of OIDs to be
    passed to sysctl(8) across different systems where particular OIDs may
    not exist, and still get as much information as possible from them.
