    'sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1'

    in code, any pointers on how I can do that?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    I suspect not since these are kernel settings and you need to use a system call in order to communicate with the kernel, AFAIK.

    So, why are you trying to avoid the use of syscall or the command sysctl?
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
