DESCRIPTION

12       The "osinfo-query" command allows extraction of information from the
13       database. TYPE can be one of "os", "platform", "device", or
14       "deployment". With no conditions specified, all entities of the given
15       type will be listed.
16
17         # List all operating systems
18         $ osinfo-query os
19          Short ID             | Name       ...
20         ----------------------+-----------
21          centos-6.0           | CentOS 6.0 ...
22          centos-6.1           | CentOS 6.1 ...
23          ...
24
25       Conditions allow filtering based on specific properties of an entity.
26       For example, to filter only distros from the Fedora Project, use
27
28         # List all operating systems
29         $ osinfo-query os vendor="Fedora Project"
30          Short ID             | Name          ...
31         ----------------------+--------------
32          fedora1              | Fedora Core 1 ...
33          fedora2              | Fedora Core 2 ...
34          ...
35
36       The set of fields which are printed can be controlled using the
37       --fields command line argument:
38
39         # List all operating systems
40         $ osinfo-query --fields=short-id,version os vendor="Fedora Project"
41          Short ID             | Version
42         ----------------------+----------
43          fedora1              | 1
44          fedora2              | 2
