    Which Linux command is used to display the current version of the kernel?
    Question

    Which Linux command is used to display the current version of the kernel?

    A.

    lskernel

    B.

    kernel -v

    C.

    version

    D.

    uname -v

    E.

    kerninfo

    Correct option is D

    The uname -v command in Linux is used to display the current kernel version information. The uname command provides system-related details, and the -v option specifically shows the kernel version and build information.

    For example, it may display the kernel compilation version and build date of the Linux system.

    Important Key Points:

    1. uname is a Linux command used to display system information.
    2. The -v option shows the kernel version details.
    3. Linux kernel information is useful for system administration and troubleshooting.
    4. Another commonly used command is uname -r for displaying the kernel release number.

    Knowledge Booster:

    1. (a) lskernel: Incorrect because lskernel is not a standard Linux command.
    2. (b) kernel -v: Incorrect because this is not a valid Linux command syntax.
    3. (c) version: Incorrect because version alone is not a standard Linux command for displaying kernel information.
    4. (e) kerninfo: Incorrect because kerninfo is not a recognized default Linux command.
