NAME

6       osinfo-detect - Detect the operating system on installable media or
7       trees
8

SYNOPSIS

10       osinfo-detect [OPTIONS...] PATH|URI
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Examine the "PATH" or "URI" to determine what (if any) operating system
14       it is for, and whether it is installable or is a Live image.  By
15       default "PATH" or "URI" will be interpreted as pointing to ISO media.
16       To request examination of an install tree instead, the option
17       "--type=tree" should be given.
18
19       The output information is formatted for humans; to obtain machine
20       readable output, the option "--format=env" should be given to produce
21       shell-like key/value pairs.
22

OPTIONS

24       --format=plain|env
25               Switch between human readable output (plain, the default) or
26               machine readable output (env).
27
28       --type=media|tree
29               Switch between looking for CD/DVD ISO media (media, the
30               default) or install trees (tree)
31

EXIT STATUS

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