The previous version of sysctl had the form: sysctl -p [file] In other words, it required a space between the -p and the [file]. Omitting the space would lead to an error. The new version though is the opposite: sysctl -p[file] In other words, it requires there to not be a space. Considering the old behavior has been around for a decade, and runtime checking for this mismatch in behavior is silly, and supporting the old syntax is trivial, add support for it. When '-p regexp' is glob is used to make reqular expression to be expanded to argument list, which also means that -p option will allow multiple files being specified as input.

./autogen.sh
After that, and everyone using .tar.xz version of procps-ng, can
do normal build. Read './configure --help' to select options for
your needs.
./configure
make
make install
If you have DejaGNU installed you can run optional test suite.
make check
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
