   NAME
         fstyp (generic) - 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 some 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-system
         identifier for that type and exits with a return code of 0; if none
         of the modules succeed, the error message unknownfstyp (no matches)
         is returned and the exit status is 1. If more than one module
         succeeds the error message unknownfstyp (multiple matches) is
         returned and the exit status is 2.

         The options are:

         -v    Produce verbose output. This is usually information about the
               file systems superblock and varies across different FSTypes.

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