Subject: Re: ldd scull_load question

yes, you do!

there is another question confused me.
I have seem the command in the scull.c:
int scull_major = SCULL_MAJOR;and so on.

module_param(scull_major, int, S_IRUGO); and so on.

if we don't do "./scull_load scull_major" command.

we just use "./scull_load"

it will make scull_major = SCULL_MAJOR default?
