Expand description
Translates a name to a “Management Information Base” (MIB) that can be
passed repeatedly to mallctlbymib
.
This avoids repeated name lookups for applications that repeatedly query the same portion of the namespace.
On success, mibp
contains an array of *miblenp
integers, where
*miblenp
is the lesser of the number of components in name and the
input value of *miblenp
. Thus it is possible to pass a *miblenp
that is
smaller than the number of period-separated name components, which
results in a partial MIB that can be used as the basis for constructing
a complete MIB. For name components that are integers (e.g. the 2 in
arenas.bin.2.size), the corresponding MIB component will always be that
integer.
