+@end example
+@end defvr
+
+@deftp {Data Type} sysctl-configuration
+The data type representing the configuration of @command{sysctl}.

+@table @asis
+@item @code{sysctl} (default: @code{(file-append procps "/sbin/sysctl"})
+The @command{sysctl} executable to use.
+
+@item @code{settings} (default: @code{'()})
