Kernel Arguments

How do the kernel arguments work? And how do they affect the kernel?

Kernel Arguments are command-line parameters to the simulator that changes the behavior of the kernel.

The arguments are parsed each time the kernel starts up or gets rebooted. If there are any switches or argument parameters, they'll get parsed using the ProvidedArgumentsInfo class.
