fstyp(8)                  BSD System Manager's Manual                 fstyp(8)


NAME

     fstyp -- identify a file system


SYNOPSIS

     fstyp device


DESCRIPTION

     The fstyp utility attempts to determine what sort of volume is present on
     the given device.  It operates by iterating over directories that are
     typically part of the path, searching for files matching the pattern
     fstyp_* and running them.  If it finds a match, it will print out the
     file system type name and exit with a return value of 1.  If it does not
     find a match, it will not print out anything, and the return value will
     be 0.
