6 The arguments are of the form "<proc-file>=<val>" separated by spaces.
7 The program first reads the current value of the proc-file and creates
8 a shell script named "/tmp/sysctl_restore_${PACKETDRILL_PID}.sh" which
9 restores the values when executed. It then sets the new values.
11 PACKETDRILL_PID is set by packetdrill to the pid of itself, so a .pkt
