[erlang-questions] Passing parameters to a port driver

[Sebastian Bello]

There is no argc/argv in a linked in driver as far as I know. On the 
driver side you have
    static ErlDrvData driver_start(ErlDrvPort port, char *buff)

and buff just points to the driver name; if you load the driver with 
parameters you just get an "open_error".
Any other ideas?
