The ko file extension is sometimes used for Kernel modules in some Linux distributions.
Kernel Modules are pieces of code that can be loaded and unloaded into the kernel upon demand. They extend the functionality of the kernel without the need to reboot the system. For example, one type of module is the device driver, which allows the kernel to access hardware connected to the system.
The Linux kernel modules are located in /lib/modules folder.
The ko modules are also used by FreeBSD based systems.
