.Dt SCHED_4BSD 4
.Sh NAME
.Nm sched_4bsd
-.Nd 4.4BSD Scheduler
+.Nd "4.4BSD scheduler"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Cd "options SCHED_4BSD"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
.Nm
+scheduler
is the default system scheduler, providing both high throughput and solid
interactive response in the presence of load.
.Pp
The following sysctls are relevant to the operation of
.Nm :
.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It kern.sched.name
+.It Va kern.sched.name
This read-only sysctl reports the name of the active scheduler.
-.It kern.sched.quantum
+.It Va kern.sched.quantum
This read-write sysctl reports or sets the length of the quantum (in
micro-seconds) granted to a thread.
-.It kern.sched.ipiwakeup.enabled
+.It Va kern.sched.ipiwakeup.enabled
This read-write sysctl sets whether or not the scheduler will generate an
inter-processor interrupt (IPI) to an idle CPU when a thread is woken up.
Otherwise, idle CPUs will wait until the next clock tick before looking for
new work.
-.It kern.sched.preemption
+.It Va kern.sched.preemption
This read-only sysctl reports whether or not the kernel is configured to
support preemption, which reduces the latency to run lower priority threads
on wakeup.
