77 * module_param - typesafe helper for a module/cmdline parameter
78 * @value: the variable to alter, and exposed parameter name.
79 * @type: the type of the parameter
80 * @perm: visibility in sysfs.
82 * @value becomes the module parameter, or (prefixed by KBUILD_MODNAME and a
83 * ".") the kernel commandline parameter. Note that - is changed to _, so
84 * the user can use "foo-bar=1" even for variable "foo_bar".
86 * @perm is 0 if the the variable is not to appear in sysfs, or 0444
87 * for world-readable, 0644 for root-writable, etc. Note that if it
88 * is writable, you may need to use kparam_block_sysfs_write() around
89 * accesses (esp. charp, which can be kfreed when it changes).
91 * The @type is simply pasted to refer to a param_ops_##type and a
92 * param_check_##type: for convenience many standard types are provided but
93 * you can create your own by defining those variables.
95 * Standard types are:
96 * byte, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong
97 * charp: a character pointer
98 * bool: a bool, values 0/1, y/n, Y/N.
99 * invbool: the above, only sense-reversed (N = true).

107 * @value: the actual lvalue to alter.
108 * @type: the type of the parameter
109 * @perm: visibility in sysfs.
111 * Usually it's a good idea to have variable names and user-exposed names the
112 * same, but that's harder if the variable must be non-static or is inside a
113 * structure. This allows exposure under a different name.
