From eb0097c6f3eeb559e33369066be7279f540d05db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2022 09:41:37 -0400 Subject: Doc: prefer sysctl to /proc/sys in docs and comments. sysctl is more portable than Linux's /proc/sys file tree, and often easier to use too. That's why most of our docs refer to sysctl when talking about how to adjust kernel parameters. Bring the few stragglers into line.
