tunable_name=tunable_value...

The parameter values that you update are reflected after you reconfigure AMF driver. Note that if you unload the module, the updated values are lost. You must unconfigure the module using the amfconfig -U or equivalent command and then reconfigure using the amfconfig -c command for the updated tunables to be effective. If you want to set the tunables at module load time, you can write these amfconfig commands in the amftab file.

See the amftab(4) manual page for details.
