NAME

       lsb_release - print distribution-specific information

SYNOPSIS

       lsb_release [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The lsb_release command provides certain LSB (Linux Standard Base) and distribution-specific information.

       If no options are given, the -v option is assumed.

OPTIONS

       The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--').
       A summary of options are included below.

       -v, --version
              Show the version of the LSB against which your current installation is compliant.  The version  is
              expressed as a colon separated list of LSB module descriptions.

       -i, --id
              Display the distributor's ID.

       -d, --description
              Display a description of the currently installed distribution.

       -r, --release
              Display the release number of the currently installed distribution.

       -c, --codename
              Display the code name of the currently installed distribution.

       -a, --all
              Display all of the above information.

       -s, --short
              Use  the  short  output  format  for  any  information  displayed.   This format omits the leading
              header(s).

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

NOTES

       This is a reimplementation of the lsb_release command provided by the Free Standards Group.  Any bugs are
       solely the responsibility of the author below.

       Detection  of  systems  using  a mix of packages from various distributions or releases is something of a
       black art; the current heuristic tends to assume that the installation is of  the  earliest  distribution
       which is still being used by apt but that heuristic is subject to error.
