Ticket #20429 (closed defect: invalid)

Typo error in base?

Description

I hope I am wrong but I don't know if there is a typo error in this point ​http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/base/src/macports1.0/macports.tcl#L665.

Is "sysctl" (system control?) correct? Or is "systcl" (system tcl?) correct instead? I am not able to understand by myself. Sorry.

I hope it is a bad ticket that Joshua will close as inconsistent.

sysctl is correct, it is a call to sysctlbyname(3) to query system information. You can basically see the same information on the command line: 

$ /usr/sbin/sysctl hw.cpu64bit_capable
hw.cpu64bit_capable: 1
