Access to sysctl on FreeBSD?

[Skye]

Great, thanks for the help (I'm fairly new to Python, didn't know
about ctypes)

    from ctypes import *
    libc = CDLL("libc.so.7")
    size = c_uint(0)
    libc.sysctlbyname("net.inet.ip.stats", None, byref(size), None, 0)
    buf = c_char_p(" " * size.value)
    libc.sysctlbyname("net.inet.ip.stats", buf, byref(size), None, 0)

So now that I've got the data, can you point me towards docs
explaining how to layout struct ipstat?

Thanks,
Skye
