fstyp(1M-vxfs)                  1989/1992                    fstyp(1M-vxfs)

NAME
     fstyp (vxfs) - check for Veritas superblock as identifying sign of
     file system

SYNOPSIS
     fstyp [-v] device

DESCRIPTION
     This is an addendum to the fstyp(1M) manual page. It describes the
     Veritas File System (VxFS) specific features of the fstyp command.

     The file system-specific versions of the utility check for identifying
     signs of a file system. If the appropriate file systems are present,
     the utility will display the type string for the file system on stan-
     dard output, and return an exit code of zero. If the appropriate file
     system is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.

     The vxfs file system-specific version of the fstyp utility checks for
     an vxfs superblock. Specifically, the fsmagic field of the superblock
     is checked to see if it is VXMAGIC. The format of the superblock is
     specified in fs(4) (VxFS). If an vxfs file system is found, vxfs is
     displayed on standard output.

OPTIONS
     -v   The superblock fields, the number of free blocks and inodes, and
          the number of free extents by size are also displayed.
