osinfo-detect1

Usage

Overview

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;

Options

--format=plain

--type=media|tree

Switch between looking for CD/DVD ISO media (media, the default) or install trees (tree)

--all

Report all operating systems with matching media, instead of only the first match.

Exit status

The exit status will be 0 if an operating system was detected, or 1 if none was found.
