In fact,

warnx("use netstat to view %s", string);
warnx("use dmesg to view %s", string);
warnx("use ps to view %s information", string);
warnx("use vmstat or systat to view %s information",
warnx("use fstat to view %s information", string);
warnx("use pfctl to view %s information", string);
warnx("use vmstat to view %s information",
warnx("use vmstat or systat to view %s information", string);
warnx("use netstat to view %s information",
warnx("use netstat to view %s information",
warnx("use netstat to view %s information", string);
warnx("use nfsstat to view %s information",
warnx("use pstat -t to view %s information",

So perhaps thesse variables are
mentioned in sysctl(2) on purpose.
Sorry for the noise.
