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; 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.
