The "dkms status" command is used to display the status of Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) modules installed on a Linux system. DKMS is a framework that enables the installation of third-party kernel modules in a way that is automatically managed and maintained across kernel updates.

When the "dkms status" command is executed, it provides information about the DKMS modules currently installed on the system. This information usually includes the module name, its version, the kernel version it was built for, and its current status.

The status information can indicate whether the module has been properly installed and built for the current kernel version, or if there are any errors or warnings associated with it. It helps users and administrators to identify if any DKMS modules need attention or if they are up-to-date with the currently running kernel.

In summary, running "dkms status" allows users to check the status of DKMS modules and verify if they are compatible with the running kernel or if any errors need to be addressed.
