kmutil: Load one or more extensions based on the bundle specified at this path in the results.
$ kmutil load --bundle-path ${path-to-extension-kext}
try on your machine
The
kmutil load --bundle-path ${path-to-extension-kext}
command is used in macOS Terminal to load a kernel extension (kext) into the operating system's kernel.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
kmutil
is the executable file that belongs to the Kernel Extension Manager Utility, which allows users to manage kernel extensions in macOS.load
is the command withinkmutil
that instructs the utility to load a kernel extension.--bundle-path
is a flag that specifies the path to the kernel extension bundle (kext bundle) file.${path-to-extension-kext}
is a placeholder that needs to be replaced with the actual path to the kernel extension file you want to load. This path should point to the .kext folder or bundle file.
By running this command and providing the correct path to the kernel extension, you are telling the operating system to load the specified extension into the kernel. This can be useful when installing certain software or drivers that require kernel-level access or modifications to the operating system.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
