The command "numlockx status" is used to check the current status of the NumLock key on a keyboard.

NumLock is a toggle key on most modern keyboards that allows the numeric keypad to either function as a numeric keypad or as navigation keys. When the NumLock key is turned on, the numeric keypad is activated and the keys produce numbers. When it is turned off, the keys behave as navigation keys (such as arrow keys, Home, End, etc.).

The "numlockx status" command allows you to determine whether NumLock is currently turned on or off. When you execute this command, it will display the current status of NumLock, indicating whether it is "on" or "off." This can be useful in scripting or automation scenarios, where you may need to perform different actions based on the status of NumLock.
