The command "sudo dmidecode -t memory" is used to retrieve information about the memory modules (RAM) installed on a computer system. Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "sudo" is a command used in Unix-like systems to execute a command with administrative privileges. It stands for "superuser do" and allows the user to run commands as the system's root user or another user with higher privileges.

• "dmidecode" is a command-line tool that is used to decode and display information from the system's Desktop Management Interface (DMI). DMI is a standard framework used to manage and gather information about hardware components of a computer.

• "-t memory" is an option or argument passed to the "dmidecode" command. The "-t" flag is used to specify the type of information we want to retrieve, and in this case, "memory" refers to the memory (RAM) information.

When you run the "sudo dmidecode -t memory" command, it will display detailed information about the memory modules installed on the system, including the type, speed, capacity, and other relevant details. However, please note that running this command may require administrative privileges, hence the use of "sudo" at the beginning.
