fstyp(1M)		System Administration Commands		     fstyp(1M)

NAME
       fstyp - determine file system type

SYNOPSIS
       fstyp  [-v] special

DESCRIPTION
       fstyp  allows  the user to determine the file system type of  unmounted
       file systems using heuristic programs.

       An  fstyp module for each file system type to be checked	 is  executed;
       each  of	 these	modules	 applies an appropriate heuristic to determine
       whether the supplied  special file is of the type for which it  checks.
       If  it  is, the program prints on standard output the usual file system
       identifier for that type (for example, ``ufs'') and exits with a return
       code  of	  0;  if  none	of  the	 modules  succeed,  the	 error message
       unknown_fstyp (no matches) is returned and the exit status is   1.   If
       more  than one module succeeds, the error message unknown_fstyp (multi‐
       ple matches) is returned and the exit status is	2.

       This command is unreliable and its results should not be used  to  make
       any  decisions  about subsequent use of a storage device or disk parti‐
       tion.

OPTIONS
       -v	    Produce verbose output. This is usually information	 about
		    the	 file  systems	superblock and varies across different
		    FSTypes. See   ufs(7FS), mkfs_ufs(1M), and	tunefs(1M) for
		    details.

USAGE
       See  largefile(5)  for  the  description	 of the behavior of fstyp when
       encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2^31 bytes).

ATTRIBUTES
       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       ┌─────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────┐
       │      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     │	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   │
       ├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────┤
       │Availability		     │SUNWcsu			   │
       └─────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────┘

       ufs(7FS), pcfs(7FS)

NOTES
       The  use of heuristics implies that the result of  fstyp is not guaran‐
       teed to be accurate.

       This command is unreliable and its results should not be used  to  make
       any  decisions  about subsequent use of a storage device or disk parti‐
       tion.
