NAME

       osinfo-detect - 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.
