lsb_release

lsb_release(1)						      General Commands Manual						    lsb_release(1)

NAME

       lsb_release - print distribution-specific information

SYNOPSIS

       lsb_release [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The lsb_release command provides certain LSB (Linux Standard Base) and distribution-specific information.

       If no options are given, the -v option is assumed.

OPTIONS

       The  program  follows  the  usual  GNU  command	line  syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`--').  A summary of options are
       included below.

       -v, --version
	      Show the version of the LSB against which your current installation is compliant.  The version is expressed  as  a  colon  separated
	      list of LSB module descriptions.

       -i, --id
	      Display the distributor's ID.

       -d, --description
	      Display a description of the currently installed distribution.

       -r, --release
	      Display the release number of the currently installed distribution.

       -c, --codename
	      Display the code name of the currently installed distribution.

       -a, --all
	      Display all of the above information.

       -s, --short
	      Use the short output format for any information displayed.  This format omits the leading header(s).

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

NOTES

       This  is a reimplementation of the lsb_release command provided by the Free Standards Group.  Any bugs are solely the responsibility of the
       author below.

       Detection of systems using a mix of packages from various distributions or releases is something of a  black  art;  the	current  heuristic
       tends  to  assume  that	the installation is of the earliest distribution which is still being used by apt but that heuristic is subject to
       error.
