LPIC-2 Exam 201 (Linux Engineer) — Question 49

What is the purpose of the command udevadm monitor?

Answer options

• A. It listens to kernel events produced by a udev rule and prints information to the console
• B. It monitors the /dev/ directory for new devices
• C. It monitors the udev process and prints performance statistics to the console
• D. It communicates with D-Bus to setup new devices

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The command udevadm monitor is specifically designed to listen to kernel events related to udev rules and provide relevant information to the console, making option A the correct choice. Options B, C, and D describe functions that are not part of what udevadm monitor does, as it does not monitor the /dev/ directory, track performance statistics, or communicate with D-Bus.
