The correct title of this article is dmesg. The initial letter is capitalized due to technical restrictions.

dmesg (for "diagnostic message") is a command that prints the message buffer of the kernel. This buffer contains a variety of important messages from those printed during boot to those used for debugging software. This information may also be stored to disk via a logging daemon, such as syslog.
