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;
OPTIONS
- --format=plain
-
- --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.
