38.Ar special
39.Sh DESCRIPTION
40The
41.Nm
42utility is used to determine the filesystem type on a given device.
43It can recognize BeFS (BeOS), ISO-9660, exFAT, Ext2, FAT, NTFS, and UFS filesystems.
44When the
45.Fl u
46flag is specified,
47.Nm
48also recognizes certain additional metadata formats that cannot be
49handled using
50.Xr mount 8 ,
51such as
52.Xr geli 8
53providers, and
54ZFS pools.
55.Pp
56The filesystem name is printed to the standard output
57as, respectively:
58.Bl -item -offset indent -compact
59.It
60befs
61.It
62cd9660

81.El
82.Pp
83Because
84.Nm
85is built specifically to detect filesystem types, it differs from
86.Xr file 1
87in several ways.
88The output is machine-parsable, filesystem labels are supported,
89the utility runs sandboxed using
90.Xr capsicum 4 ,
91and does not try to recognize any file format other than filesystems.
92.Pp
93These options are available:
94.Bl -tag -width ".Fl l"
95.It Fl l
96In addition to filesystem type, print filesystem label if available.
97.It Fl s
98Ignore file type.
99By default,
100.Nm
101only works on regular files and disk-like device nodes.
102Trying to read other file types might have unexpected consequences or hang
103indefinitely.
104.It Fl u
105Include filesystems and devices that cannot be mounted directly by
106.Xr mount 8 .
107.El
108.Sh EXIT STATUS
109The
110.Nm
111utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs or the filesystem
112type is not recognized.
