I was looking on the linux doc project site and found this kernel
module programming guide. (the one for the 2.6 kernel)

In section 2.6 of the doc "passing command line args to modules", I
get confused at the output of the module. The output shows it say
something like "myintArray is -1 to 420". But I don't see anywhere in
the source that would do this.

Is this doc just incomplete or am I missing something here?
Also what is the point of passing command line args to modules??
