Made kernel lowercase. I think Linux should stay as it is.

I think we should start with modinfo {{kernel_module}} and explain what it does.
and then go to -F.
Also, instead of /, use |.

You mention "attributes" above and "fields" in this example. Please use any one to be consistent.
Also, no need to say "instead of all the fields". The first example clarifies it that not setting any flags shows all attributes.

Updated it further. Please check if it is appropriate now.

It's a bit ambiguous here how multiple attributes are delimited. Is it with the vertical bar?

Yes the vertical bar signifies multiple values which can be used. It's what we have been using.

Hrm - I'm talking about the underlying modinfo call here - the description for this command specifies attribute(s) - implying that multiple values can be specified here.

Actually, multiple attributes can be specified, separated by a space.

Ok, then in that case change it to - List the specified attribute(s) only. (You can specify multiple attributes separated by space)

After some testing, it looks like it does not accept multiple attributes in a single command. I've fixed the mistake and pushed again.
