SYNOPSIS
       lsb_release [OPTION]...

       tribution information.

       With no OPTION specified defaults to -v.

FILES
       If the installation  is	LSB  compliant,	 the  "/etc/lsb-release"  file
       should contain the LSB_VERSION field.  The value of the field should be
       a colon separated list of supported module versions indicating the  LSB
       specification  modules  to  which the installation is compliant. If the
       installation is not compliant, the above field should not be present.

       Optional fields are DISTRIB_ID, DISTRIB_RELEASE, DISTRIB_CODENAME, DIS‐
       TRIB_DESCRIPTION	 and  can  be  used  to	 override information which is
       parsed from the "/etc/distrib-release" file.

       If the "/etc/lsb-release.d" directory exists, it is searched for	 file‐
       names  which  are  taken as additional module-version strings to add to
       LSB_VERSION.

       The "/etc/distrib-release" file contains a description  line  which  is
       parsed  to  get	information (especially on currently non-LSB compliant
       systems).

       The required line style is:
       "Distributor release x.x (Codename)"

       Where Distributor can be a couple of words, but then concatenated (i.e.
       Linux Foo BarLinux Linux -> FooBarLinux),
       x.x  starts with a digit followed by any non-blank characters, Codename
       will also be concatenated (blanks cleanup only).

       release may not be used as a  keyword  in  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION  if  you
       don't want to override "/etc/distrib-release" data.

       Notice:	To  support the Debian distributions' lack of information (see
       "/etc/debian_version" file) some have  been  directly  added  into  the
       lsb_release script.

EXAMPLES
       If the "/etc/lsb-release" file contains:

       LSB_VERSION="core-2.0-ia64:core-2.0-noarch"
       DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="I enjoy using my distrib"

       and the "/etc/lsb-release.d" directory contains:

       graphics-2.0-ia64    graphics-2.0-noarch

       and the "/etc/foobar-release" file contains:

       My Linux Distrib release 1.0RC4 (TryIt)

       Then the results of various options will be:

       $ ./lsb_release --all
       LSB  Version:	core-2.0-ia64:core-2.0-noarch:graphics-2.0-ia64:graph‐
       ics-2.0-noarch
       Distributor ID: MyDistrib
       Description:    I enjoy using my distrib
       Release:	       1.0RC4
       Codename:       TryIt

       $ ./lsb_release -a -s
       1.0 MyDistrib "I enjoy using my distrib" 1.0RC4 TryIt

       If the "/etc/lsb-release" file is absent (indicating this is not an LSB
       compliant distribution), the result will be:

       $ ./lsb_release -a
       LSB Version:    n/a
       Distributor ID: MyDistrib
       Description:    My Linux Distrib release 1.0RC4 (TryIt)
       Release:	       1.0RC4
       Codename:       TryIt
