| 3 | |
| 4 | See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt for general information on |
| 5 | specifying module parameters. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command |
| 8 | "modinfo -p ${modulename}" shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable |
| 9 | module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also |
| 10 | reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these |
| 11 | parameters may be changed at runtime by the command |
| 12 | "echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}". |
