LPIC-2 Exam 201 (Linux Engineer) — Question 2

Which of the following commands displays the physical path of the kernel module named dummy?

Answer options

• A. modprobe ""i dummy
• B. modinfo ""n dummy
• C. modpath ""v dummy
• D. depmod ""n dummy
• E. modshow ""p dummy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The command 'modinfo' with the '-n' option is specifically designed to display the file name of a module, which includes its physical path. The other commands listed do not provide the physical path of the module; for instance, 'modprobe' is used to load modules, while 'depmod' is for generating module dependency files.
