Passing a bigger string with space as command line to linux modules

How to pass a string for example: "Linux World" to Linux Kernel Module

In the previous post, we discussed how to pass parameters to Linux modules over command line.

Consider the module in the above example is "argument.ko".

If we run the following command: "insmod argument.ko name="Linux World"


We get the error "Unknown parameter 'World' ignored".

This happens because shell removes double quotes and pass it to insmod, to avoid this add a single quotes over the string.

Run the following command: "insmod argument.ko name='"Linux World"' to pass the whole string
