Tunables - to quote or not to quote

[RadOD]

This seems like a really basic question, but I'm having a hard time finding the answer.  When do you use quotes around the value you are setting in Tunables? Does it matter?

I see both scattered around the internet:
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="1000000"
kern.ipc.nmbclusters=32768

Most of the time you quote to have delimiters interpreted as literal data, e.g. spaces or equal signs. It also looks fancy to quote. But as you pointed out it is not really required.


Cheers,
