SYNOPSIS

systeroid [options] [variable[=value] ...]

systeroid is a more powerful alternative to sysctl for managing kernel parameters at runtime via procfs. It provides both a CLI and TUI interface, supports tree-like display, JSON output, regex pattern matching, and can fetch official Linux kernel documentation for parameters.

OPTIONS

-A, --all

List all kernel parameters.

-T, --tree

Display parameters in a tree hierarchy.

-r, --pattern REGEX

Filter parameters matching a regex pattern.

-E, --explain

Show the kernel documentation for a parameter.

--output FORMAT

Output format (default or json).

-p, --load FILE

Load parameter values from a configuration file.

-q, --quiet

Suppress normal output.

-N, --names

Print only parameter names, not values.

INSTALL

sudo pacman -S systeroid

sudo apk add systeroid

nix profile install nixpkgs#systeroid
