module_param_unsafe(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, meet module_param_unsafe — it's literally the same as module_param but with one chaotic little twist: it taints the kernel. no cap, that's the whole personality. this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is module_param_unsafe(9). 🫶

real talk: the unsafe in the name is not a cute aesthetic choice — this thing taints the kernel. keep that energy in mind, bestie. 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

module_param_unsafe (name , type , perm );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• name — the variable you wanna alter, and also the exposed parameter name. it's giving main character energy, honestly. 💅
• type — the type of the parameter. gotta know what kind of thing we're working with, bestie. 🌸
• perm — visibility in sysfs. that's the vibe check for sysfs, periodt. ✨
