ESXi Advanced and Kernel Settings Explorer

Every advanced setting (esxcli system settings advanced) and VMkernel setting (esxcli system settings kernel) of ESXi 6.0 to 9.0 in one place: the default, the allowed range, the description and whether esxcli can change it. Pick a release to browse its settings by namespace, search by name or description, see what the release added or changed against the previous one, compare any two releases, and copy the esxcli and PowerCLI commands to read or set a value. Built from William Lam's esxi-advanced-and-kernel-settings repository, plus the hidden options his lab posts use that esxcli system settings advanced list does not return without a name (marked hidden).
