osinfo-detect - Detect the operating system on installable media or trees

osinfo-detect [OPTIONS…] PATH|URI

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;

–format=plain

–type=media|tree

Switch between looking for CD/DVD ISO media (media, the default) or install trees (tree)

The exit status will be 0 if an operating system was detected, or 1 if none was found.
