kmutil: Inspect and display a kext collection's contents according to the options provided.
$ kmutil inspect ${options}
try on your machine

The command "kmutil inspect ${options}" is likely used to inspect the kernel extensions (kexts) on a macOS system.

Here is a breakdown of the different components of the command:

  • "kmutil": It is the command-line tool in macOS used for managing kernel extensions.
  • "inspect": It is the subcommand that tells kmutil to inspect the specified kext or the entire system's kexts.
  • "${options}": It represents the different options or arguments that can be passed to the command to modify its behavior or specify a particular kext to inspect. The "${options}" can be replaced with specific option flags or values.

For example, if you want to inspect a specific kext file, you might use a command like "kmutil inspect /path/to/kext.kext". Alternatively, if you want to inspect all the kexts in the system, the command can be simply "kmutil inspect".
