From ae836810263509ff7a3c2c021754ce6f66b3fab6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 00:34:08 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sysctl: remove support for directory strategy routines parse_table has support for calling a strategy routine when descending into a directory. To date no one has used this functionality and the /proc/sys interface has no analog to it. So no one is using this functionality kill it and make the binary sysctl code easier to follow.
