<B>lsb_release</B>
<I>[options]</I>
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B>lsb_release</B>
command provides certain LSB (Linux Standard Base) and
distribution-specific information.
<P>
If no options are given, the <I>-v</I> option is assumed.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (`--').
A summary of options are included below.

<H2>NOTES</H2>
This is a reimplementation of the
<B>lsb_release</B>
command provided by the Free Standards Group. Any bugs are solely the
responsibility of the author below.
<P>
Detection of systems using a mix of packages from various distributions
or releases is something of a black art; the current heuristic tends
to assume that the installation is of the earliest distribution which
is still being used by
<B>apt</B>
but that heuristic is subject to error.
