The busybox sysctl applet expects all arguments after -p to be filenames to
read:
sysctl -p file -h
sysctl: -h: No such file or directory
VS:
sysctl -h -p file
sysctl: invalid option -- 'h'
BusyBox v1.36.1 (2024-05-17 15:27:21 CEST) multi-call binary.
Usage: sysctl [-enq] { -a | -p [FILE]... | [-w] [KEY[=VALUE]]... }
Show/set kernel parameters
-e Don't warn about unknown keys
-n Don't show key names
-q Quiet
-a Show all values
-p Set values from FILEs (default /etc/sysctl.conf)
-w Set values
This seems to be the intented behaviour:
https://git.busybox.net/busybox/tree/procps/sysctl.c#n317
Notice: The procps-ng variant is happy with both:
sysctl -p file -h
Usage:
sysctl [options] [variable[=value] ...]
VS:
sysctl -h -p file
Usage:
sysctl [options] [variable[=value] ...]
So pass SYSCTL_ARGS before the -p args so custom sysctl arguments can be
passed.
