osinfo-detect - Man Page
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)
- --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.
