Overview
dmesg-k is a hypothetical command that filters and outputs kernel-related messages generated during the system boot process and kernel operations. It does not exist by default on actual Linux systems and can be implemented by combining dmesg with grep or through custom scripts. This command can be useful for diagnosing system issues, checking hardware recognition errors, and understanding driver loading information.
Key Features
- Filters kernel-related messages
- Analyzes system boot logs
- Checks hardware and driver information
Key Options
As dmesg-k is a hypothetical command, the options below are virtually defined based on the general filtering and output options of the dmesg command.

Usage Examples
The examples below are written assuming the dmesg-k command exists. On actual systems, similar results can be obtained by combining dmesg and grep.
Display Basic Kernel Messages
dmesg-kDisplays kernel-related messages through the default filtering defined by the dmesg-k script.
Display Error Level Kernel Messages
dmesg-k -l errFilters and displays only error-level kernel messages.
Display in Human-Readable Timestamp Format
dmesg-k -TDisplays kernel messages in a human-readable timestamp format.
Installation
dmesg-k is not included in the standard Linux command set. Therefore, to use this command, you need to create a script or set up an alias yourself.
Example Script Creation
The following is a simple shell script example that implements the dmesg-k command using dmesg and grep. You can save this script as /usr/local/bin/dmesg-k or similar and grant it execute permissions to use it.
#!/bin/bash
dmesg | grep -i "kernel\|kern\|cpu\|memory\|disk\|usb\|net\|error\|warn" "$@"Example Alias Setup
You can also use it as an alias by adding the following line to your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc). After setting this up, you need to restart your terminal or apply the settings by running the 'source ~/.bashrc' command.
alias dmesg-k='dmesg | grep -i "kernel\|kern\|cpu\|memory\|disk\|usb\|net\|error\|warn"'Tips & Notes
Since dmesg-k is not a standard command, it may be safer to directly use the dmesg and grep combination for cross-system compatibility.
Alternative Commands
You can achieve similar results using standard commands instead of dmesg-k.
- dmesg | grep -i "kernel": Filters all dmesg messages containing the keyword 'kernel'.
- dmesg -l err | grep -i "kernel": Filters 'kernel' related messages at the error level.
Expanding Filtering Keywords
The grep keywords used in the script or alias examples above (kernel, cpu, memory, etc.) can be added or modified as needed for more precise filtering.
