  10 This document may not be entirely up to date and comprehensive. The command
  11 ``modinfo -p ${modulename}`` shows a current list of all parameters of a loadable
  12 module. Loadable modules, after being loaded into the running kernel, also
  13 reveal their parameters in /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/. Some of these
  14 parameters may be changed at runtime by the command
  15 ``echo -n ${value} > /sys/module/${modulename}/parameters/${parm}``.
