lsb-release for Debian ---------------------- NB: These notes are intended for anyone building a derived distribution using this package. They are not likely to be helpful to end-users. This is Debian's implementation of the lsb_release command. Distribution-specific information should be *separately provided* in /usr/lib/os-release; it is provided by the base-files package. The file should be formatted as a series of quoted shell variable assignments. You should not assume this file is actually parsed by a Bourne shell (i.e., no fancy stuff). Example: PRETTY_NAME="(A human-readable description of the release)" NAME="(The standard name of the distribution)" VERSION_ID="(The release number)" VERSION="(The release number + codename)" ID="(distributor id)" Any other variable assignments will be silently ignored. For Debian 10.0 (buster), it might have read: PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="10" VERSION="10 (buster)" ID=debian HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/" -- Didier Raboud Wed, 28 Nov 2018 20:21:37 +0100
