Deep Insights
1.7M downloads in the last 30 days (57.5K/day), up 53% from the previous period.
1.2K crates depend on sysctl. Strong ecosystem adoption means battle-tested code and long-term stability.
sysctl has only 1 owner despite 1.2K dependents. This is a bus-factor concern — consider the implications for long-term support.
Despite being 8+ years old, sysctl hasn't reached 1.0 yet. Expect potential API changes between versions.
At 18KB, sysctl is lightweight. Small crate size correlates with focused, well-scoped functionality.
Notable dependents include nix, gemm-common, solana-core, private-gemm-x86, mmap-rs. When high-quality crates choose sysctl, it's a strong quality signal.
