NAME¶
osinfo-detect - Detect the operating system on installable media or trees
SYNOPSIS¶
osinfo-detect [OPTIONS...] PATH|URI
DESCRIPTION¶
Examine the "PATH" or
"URI" to determine what (if any) operating
system it is for, and whether it is installable or is a Live image. By default
"PATH" or
"URI" will be interpreted as pointing to ISO
media. To request examination of an install tree instead, the option
"--type=tree" should be given.
The output information is formatted for humans; to obtain machine
readable output, the option "--format=env"
should be given to produce shell-like key/value pairs.
OPTIONS¶
- --format=plain|env
- Switch between human readable output (plain, the default) or
machine readable output (env).
- --type=media|tree
- Switch between looking for CD/DVD ISO media (media, the default) or
install trees (tree)
EXIT STATUS¶
The exit status will be 0 if an operating system was detected, or 1 if none was
found.
