zramctl: Check if zram is enabled.
$ lsmod | grep -i zram

The command "lsmod" lists all currently loaded kernel modules in a Linux system. The "|" symbol is a pipe, which passes the output of the first command as input to the second command. The "grep -i zram" part of the command filters the output of "lsmod" to only show lines that contain the string "zram" (case-insensitive search). So, the command "lsmod | grep -i zram" is used to check if the zram module is currently loaded in the Linux system.
