100 * accesses (esp. charp, which can be kfreed when it changes).
101 *
102 * The @type is simply pasted to refer to a param_ops_##type and a
103 * param_check_##type: for convenience many standard types are provided but
104 * you can create your own by defining those variables.
105 *
106 * Standard types are:
107 * byte, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong
108 * charp: a character pointer
109 * bool: a bool, values 0/1, y/n, Y/N.
