       Manages  permanent as well as runtime sysctl settings.  Permament settings are set by managing entries in
       /etc/sysctl.conf.  Runtime settings are set by directly calling the sysctl executable.

          __sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward --value 1

          # On some operating systems, e.g. NetBSD, to prevent an error if the
          # MIB style name does not exist (e.g. optional kernel components),
          # name and value can be separated by `?=`. The same effect can be achieved
          # in cdist by appending a `?` to the key:

          __sysctl ddb.onpanic? --value -1
