module: sysctl
short_description: Manage entries in sysctl.conf.
description:
    - This module manipulates sysctl entries and optionally performs a C(/sbin/sysctl -p) after changing them.
version_added: "1.0"
options:
    name:
        description:
            - The dot-separated path (aka I(key)) specifying the sysctl variable.
        required: true
        default: null
        aliases: [ 'key' ]
    value:
        description:
            - Desired value of the sysctl key.

        default: null
        aliases: [ 'val' ]
    state:
        description:
            - Whether the entry should be present or absent in the sysctl file.
        choices: [ "present", "absent" ]

        description:
            - Use this option to ignore errors about unknown keys.
        choices: [ "yes", "no" ]
        default: no
    reload:
        description:
            - If C(yes), performs a I(/sbin/sysctl -p) if the C(sysctl_file) is
              updated. If C(no), does not reload I(sysctl) even if the
              C(sysctl_file) is updated.

        description:
            - Verify token value with the sysctl command and set with -w if necessary
