/**
* enum sysctl_writes_mode - supported sysctl write modes
*
* @SYSCTL_WRITES_LEGACY: each write syscall must fully contain the sysctl value
* to be written, and multiple writes on the same sysctl file descriptor
* will rewrite the sysctl value, regardless of file position. No warning
* is issued when the initial position is not 0.
* @SYSCTL_WRITES_WARN: same as above but warn when the initial file position is
* not 0.
* @SYSCTL_WRITES_STRICT: writes to numeric sysctl entries must always be at
* file position 0 and the value must be fully contained in the buffer
* sent to the write syscall. If dealing with strings respect the file
* position, but restrict this to the max length of the buffer, anything
* passed the max lenght will be ignored. Multiple writes will append
* to the buffer.
*
* These write modes control how current file position affects the behavior of
* updating sysctl values through the proc interface on each write.
