Linux module information
If you need to find out more information about a linux kernel module you can use modinfo:
[root@localhost scsi]# modinfo aic7xxx/aic7xxx.ko filename: aic7xxx/aic7xxx.ko description: Adaptec Aic77XX/78XX SCSI Host Bus Adapter driver license: Dual BSD/GPL version: 6.2.36 96FAE27D3385BBB774E4EDE parm: aic7xxx:period delimited, options string. verbose Enable verbose/diagnostic logging allow_memio Allow device registers to be memory mapped debug Bitmask of debug values to enable no_probe Toggle EISA/VLB controller probing probe_eisa_vl Toggle EISA/VLB controller probing no_reset Supress initial bus resets extended Enable extended geometry on all controllers periodic_otag Send an ordered tagged transaction periodically to prevent tag starvation.
