About kmon
kmon is a terminal-based utility for Linux systems that combines Linux kernel module management and real-time kernel activity monitoring in a single interface. It allows users to load, unload, blacklist, and view details of loadable kernel modules, while also tracking kernel logs, hardware-related messages, and other kernel activity in real time. The tool is built in Rust using the Ratatui and termion libraries for its text-based user interface, and aims to eliminate the need to use separate tools like dmesg and kmod for these tasks.
