core_param_unsafe(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to core_param_unsafe(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this is literally the same as core_param but it taints kernel 💀. No cap, that's the whole headline: it does the parameter thing, and it taints the kernel. ✨

⚠️ yes, <red>taints kernel</red> is the important part — this is not a "casual little vibe" situation, okay? 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

core_param_unsafe (name , var , type , perm );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so here's the cast, and they're all iconic in their own way 💅

• name — the name of the cmdline and sysfs parameter (often the same as var) 🏷️
• var — the variable 🧚
• type — the type of the parameter 🦋
• perm — visibility in sysfs 👀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

if you're going down the parameter rabbit hole, these are your girls — and they all live in the kernel file ./include/linux/moduleparam.h 🐇✨
