FSTYP(ADM)                                 UNIX System V



     Name
          fstyp - determine file system identifier


     Syntax
          /etc/fstypdevice


     Description
          The fstyp command allows the  user  to  determine  the  file
          system identifier of mounted or unmounted file systems using
          heuristic programs. The file  system  type  is  required  by
          mount(S)  and  sometimes by mount(ADM) to mount file systems
          of different types.

          fstyp runs the programs in /etc/fscmd.d/TYPE in alphabetical
          order,  passing  device  as  an  argument;  if  any  program
          succeeds, its filesystem  type  identifier  is  printed  and
          fstyp  exits  immediately.  If  no  program  succeeds, fstyp
          prints ``Unknown_fstyp'' to indicate failure.
