.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
osinfo-detect [OPTIONS...] PATH|URI
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Examine the \f(CW\*(C`PATH\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`URI\*(C'\fR to determine what (if any) operating
system it is for, and whether it is installable or is a Live image.
By default \f(CW\*(C`PATH\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`URI\*(C'\fR will be interpreted as pointing to
ISO media. To request examination of an install tree instead, the
option \fB\-\-type=tree\fR should be given.
