NAME

       fstyp - determine file system type

SYNOPSIS

       special

DESCRIPTION

       The  command  allows the user to determine the file system type of a mounted or unmounted file system.  special represents a device special
       file (for example:

       The file system type is determined by reading the superblock of the supplied special file. If the superblock is read successfully, the com-
       mand  prints  the file system type identifier on the standard output and exits with an exit status of If the type of the file system cannot
       be identified, the error message (no matches) is printed and the exit status is Exit status is not currently returned, but is reserved  for
       the situation where the file system matches more than one file system type.  Any other error will cause exit status to be returned.

       The file system type is determined by reading the superblock of the supplied special file.

   Options
	      Produce verbose output.
			The output contains information about the file system's superblock.

RETURN VALUE

       returns the following values:

	      Successful completion.
	      Unknown file system type.
	      File system matches more than one type.
	      Usage error or access problem.
			If  the  printed  message  is "Can't send after socket shutdown", check with your system administrator to make sure the is
			running properly on the system.

EXAMPLES

       Find the type of the file system on a disk,

       Find the type of the file system on a logical volume,

       Find the file system type for a particular device file and also information about its super block:

NAME

       fstyp - determine file system type

SYNOPSIS

       fstyp [-v] special

DESCRIPTION

       fstyp allows the user to determine the file system type of  unmounted file systems using heuristic programs.

       An   fstyp module for each file system type to be checked is executed;  each of these modules applies an appropriate heuristic to determine
       whether the supplied  special file is of the type for which it checks. If it is, the program prints on standard output the usual file  sys-
       tem  identifier	for that type (for example, ``ufs'') and exits with a return code of  0; if none of the modules succeed, the error message
       unknown_fstyp (no matches) is returned and the exit status is  1. If more than one module succeeds, the error message unknown_fstyp (multi-
       ple matches) is returned and the exit status is	2.

OPTIONS

       -v	Produce  verbose  output.  This  is usually information about the file systems superblock and varies across different FSTypes. See
		ufs(7FS), mkfs_ufs(1M), and  tunefs(1M) for details.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of fstyp when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

NOTES

       The use of heuristics implies that the result of  fstyp is not guaranteed to be accurate.
