4 See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst for general information on
5 specifying module parameters.

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}".
