Writing Device Drivers

Setting Kernel Variables

The set command changes the value of module or kernel variables. To set module variables, specify the module name and the variable:


set module_name:variable=value

For example, to set the variable test_debug in a driver that is named myTest, use set as follows:


% set myTest:test_debug=1

To set a variable that is exported by the kernel itself, omit the module name.

You can also use a bitwise OR operation to set a value, for example:


% set moddebug | 0x80000000
