The command that generates the output showing kernel module IDs, reference counts, addresses, sizes, and names iskldstatin FreeBSD. This command is used to display thestatus of loaded kernel modules, including those loaded dynamically. The output format shown in the question is characteristic ofkldstat, where it lists the kernel modules currently loaded into the system's memory along with their respective details.

The question mark (?) is a special character in regular expressions that modifies the preceding expression to match zero or one times. For example, the regular expression colou?r matches both color and colour, but not colouur or colr. The question mark is also used to make an expression non-greedy, meaning that it will match the shortest possible string instead of the longest. For example, the regular expression <.?> matches the first pair of angle brackets in a string, while <.> matches the entire string enclosed by the outermost pair of angle brackets. References:

The correct configuration line for sending all messages from the auth facility to a remote syslog server is auth.* @logger.example.org. In syslog configuration, the auth.* specifies the facility and priority, where auth is the facility for security/authorization messages, and * represents all priorities. The @ symbol is used to indicate that the messages are to be sent to a remote server, followed by the hostname of the remote syslog server. References:

The subnet mask 255.255.224.0 corresponds to the hexadecimal netmask 0xffffe000 shown in the output. This subnet mask indicates a subnet with 19 bits for the network portion and 13 bits for the host portion, allowing for a large number of hosts within the subnet.

The file /boot/loader.conf on OpenBSD is used to specify the kernel image that the bootloader should load. This file contains various settings that can be used to control the boot process, including kernel parameters and device driver options.

A /24 IPv4 prefix provides 256 IP addresses, which is the number of addresses in one octet (2^8). A /28 subnet has 16 IP addresses (2^4). To calculate how many /28 subnets can fit into a /24 prefix, divide the total number of addresses in the /24 prefix by the number of addresses in a /28 subnet: 256 / 16 = 16. However, since each subnet has network and broadcast addresses that cannot be used for hosts, the actual number of usable subnets is less. In practice, you can create 16 subnets, each with 14 usable IP addresses for hosts.

The tar command is used to create or extract compressed archive files on BSD systems. It can handle various compression formats, such as gzip, bzip2, xz, and lzma. The tar command takes different options to specify the compression type, such as -z for gzip, -j for bzip2, -J for xz, and -Z for lzma. The other options are not related to compression, but to other functions of the tar command, such as -x for extracting, -c for creating, and -v for verbose output. References:

The ports collection on FreeBSD is a package management system that allows users to install third-party software from source or binary packages. The ports collection is stored in the /usr/ports/ directory, which contains subdirectories for different categories of software, such as archivers, databases, editors, etc. Each subdirectory contains one or more ports, which are directories that contain the files needed to build and install the software. The /usr/ports/ directory can be updated with the portsnap command34

Binary packages are pre-compiled versions of the ports that can be installed with the pkg command. Binary packages are downloaded from the FreeBSD package repository,which is hosted at pkg.freebsd.org. The packages are installed in the /usr/local/ directory by default, and the information about the installed packages is stored in the /usr/local/pkg/ directory. The /usr/local/pkg/ directory contains files with the .db extension, which are SQLite databases that store the metadata of the packages. The pkg command can query and manipulate these databases56 References: 3: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/  4: https://www.freebsd.org/ports/  5: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/pkgng-intro/  6: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pkg &sektion=8
