4SCSI Kernel Parameters
5======================
6
7See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst for general information on
8specifying module parameters.
9
10This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command
11``modinfo -p ${modulename}`` shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable
12module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also
13reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these
14parameters may be changed at runtime by the command
15``echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}``.
