  31 .Sh DESCRIPTION
  32 The
  33 .Nm
  34 utility attempts to determine what sort of volume is present on the given
  35 device.
  36 It operates by iterating over directories that are typically part of the path,
  37 searching for files matching the pattern fstyp_* and running them.
  38 If it finds a match, it will print out the file system type name and exit with
  39 a return value of 1.
  40 If it does not find a match, it will not print out anything, and the return
  41 value will be 0.
