python ctype和sysctl

Question

我有以下代码

import sys
from ctypes import *
from ctypes.util import find_library

libc = cdll.LoadLibrary(find_library("c"))
CTL_KERN = 1
KERN_SHMMAX = 34
sysctl_names = {
    'memory_shared_buffers' : (CTL_KERN, KERN_SHMMAX),
    }

def posix_sysctl_long(name):
    _mem = c_uint64(0)
    _arr = c_int * 2
    _name = _arr()
    _name[0] = c_int(sysctl_names[name][0])
    _name[1] = c_int(sysctl_names[name][1])
    result = libc.sysctl(_name, byref(_mem), c_size_t(sizeof(_mem)), None, c_size_t(0))
    if result != 0:
        raise Exception('sysctl returned with error %s' % result)
    return _mem.value

print posix_sysctl_long('memory_shared_buffers')

这将产生以下结果：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 23, in <module>
    print posix_sysctl_long('memory_shared_buffers')
  File "test.py", line 20, in posix_sysctl_long
    raise Exception('sysctl returned with error %s' % result)
Exception: sysctl returned with error -1

我猜我做错了什么。正确的调用约定是什么？我怎么才能找出到底哪里出了问题呢？

Answer 1

您没有为sysctl函数提供正确的值。有关sysctl()的参数的详细信息可以在here中找到。

以下是您的错误：

• 您忘记了nlen参数(第二个参数)
• oldlenp参数是指向大小的指针，而不是直接指向大小

下面是正确的函数(稍有改进)：

def posix_sysctl_long(name):
    _mem = c_uint64(0)
    _def = sysctl_names[name]
    _arr = c_int * len(_def)
    _name = _arr()
    for i, v in enumerate(_def):
        _name[i] = c_int(v)
    _sz = c_size_t(sizeof(_mem))
    result = libc.sysctl(_name, len(_def), byref(_mem), byref(_sz), None, c_size_t(0))
    if result != 0:
        raise Exception('sysctl returned with error %s' % result)
    return _mem.value
