Add fstyp(8). This utility, named after its SVR4 counterpart, detects filesystems. It differs from file(1) in that it gives machine-parseable output, it outputs filesystem labels, doesn't get confused by other formats metadata, and runs in Capsicum sandbox.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used to determine the filesystem type on a given device.
|
|
It can recognize ISO-9660, Ext2, FAT, NTFS, and UFS filesystems.
|
|
The filesystem name is printed to the standard output
|
|
as, respectively,
|
|
.Li cd9660 ,
|
|
.Li ext2fs ,
|
|
.Li msdosfs ,
|
|
.Li ntfs ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Li ufs .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Because
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is built specifically to detect filesystem types, it differs from
|
|
.Xr file 1
|
|
in several ways.
|
|
The output is machine-parsable, filesystem labels are supported,
|
|
and only filesystems are identified.
|
|
Security is improved with
|
|
.Xr capsicum 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
These options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl l"
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
In addition to filesystem type, print filesystem label if available.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Ignore file type.
|
|
By default,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
only works on regular files and disk-like device nodes.
|
|
Trying to read other file types might have unexpected consequences or hang
|
|
indefinitely.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs or the filesystem
|
|
type is not recognized.
