The "kmutil find" command is used in macOS to locate and display information about loaded kernel extensions (KEXTs) on a system.

In macOS, kernel extensions are software modules that extend the operating system's capabilities or add device drivers for hardware components. They run in the kernel space, which means they have higher privileges and direct access to hardware and system resources.

When you run the "kmutil find" command in Terminal, it scans the system for loaded kernel extensions and displays information about them. This can include details such as the name of the extension, its bundle identifier, version number, load address, and other relevant information.

This command is particularly useful for troubleshooting or managing kernel extensions. You can use it to verify which extensions are currently loaded, check their version numbers, or investigate potential conflicts between extensions.

It is worth noting that running the "kmutil find" command requires administrative privileges, so you may need to use the "sudo" command (e.g., "sudo kmutil find") to execute it successfully.
