Which of the following commands would display information about the dependencies of a module?

The command that displays information about the dependencies of a module is modinfo. When you run modinfo followed by the name of a kernel module, it provides various details about that module, including its dependencies, parameters, author, and licensing information. This command is particularly useful for understanding how modules interact with each other and ensuring that the required dependencies are met before loading a module into the kernel.

In contrast, lsmod is used to display the currently loaded modules in the kernel, which includes their usage counts but does not focus on specific dependency information. depmod generates a list of dependencies for the modules, creating a file that informs the kernel which modules are needed by others, but it does not provide an immediate display of those dependencies for a specific module when queried. Finally, modprobe is a command that handles the loading and unloading of modules, also taking care of their dependencies when inserting a module into the kernel, but it does not directly display this dependency information in a user-friendly manner. Therefore, modinfo is the command that specifically provides the desired information about a module’s dependencies in a concise format.
