LSB_RELEASE(1) User Commands LSB_RELEASE(1) NAME lsb_release - print distribution-specific information (minimal implementation). SYNOPSIS lsb_release [options] DESCRIPTION This is a bare-bones version of the lsb_release command, implemented as a tiny POSIX shell script (less than 100 lines of commented code). Instead of using LSB packages, this version of lsb_release uses the information in /etc/os-release and /usr/lib/os-release. Nevertheless, the output of this version is byte-for-byte compatible with the Python- based version provided by Debian and its derivatives. Using this implementation it is possible to avoid installing Python in a base OS image while still retaining compatibility with older scripts that expect lsb_release to exist. OPTIONS The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ("--"). A summary of options are included below. -h, --help Show a help message with a list of options and exit. -v, --version Show LSB modules this system supports. -i, --id Show distributor ID. -d, --description Show description of this distribution. -r, --release Show release number of this distribution. -c, --codename Show code name of this distribution. -a, --all Show all of the above information. -s, --short Show requested information in short format. FILES /usr/lib/os-release Distribution-provided file with operating system identification data. /etc/os-release Machine-specific file with operating system identification data. If present, /etc/os-release is read instead of /usr/lib/os-release.
