OSINFO-DETECT.C(1) Virtualization Support OSINFO-DETECT.C(1)NAMEosinfo-detect - Detect the operating system on installable media or
trees
SYNOPSISosinfo-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; to obtain machine
readable output, the option "--format=env" should be given to produce
shell-like key/value pairs.
OPTIONS
--format=plain|env
Switch between human readable output (plain, the default) or
machine readable output (env).
--type=media|tree
Switch between looking for CD/DVD ISO media (media, the
default) or install trees (tree)
EXIT STATUS
The exit status will be 0 if an operating system was detected, or 1 if
none was found.
