How can you find detailed information concerning a particular kernel module?

To find detailed information about a particular kernel module, the modinfo command is used. This command provides comprehensive information including the module's version, description, author, license, and parameters that the module can accept. It reads from the module's metadata, which contains all this detailed information and presents it in a user-friendly format.

In contrast, while lsmod lists all currently loaded modules, it does not provide detailed information about them. The insmod command is used to insert a module into the kernel, while depmod creates a list of modules that are available for the kernel, but neither of these commands offers detailed insights into a specific module's properties. Therefore, using modinfo is the appropriate method when seeking detailed information about a kernel module.
