The command "kmutil log" is a command used in macOS (Mac operating system) to view the kernel extension (kext) log.

A kernel extension is a type of software module that extends the functionality of the operating system's kernel. These extensions are loaded into the kernel during the boot process and can provide additional features or device drivers.

The "kmutil log" command allows you to view the log messages generated by kernel extensions. This can be useful for troubleshooting issues related to kernel extensions, such as figuring out why a particular extension failed to load or caused a system error.

By running "kmutil log", you will see the log messages generated by kernel extensions, which can help in identifying any errors or warnings related to these extensions. The log might include information about the loading, unloading, or errors encountered during the operation of kernel extensions.
