Necessary tools, links, and dependencies for the Linux Standard Base
(LSB).
The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard core
system that third-party applications written for Linux can depend
upon.
The lsb_release command is a simple tool to help identify the Linux
distribution being used and its compliance with the Linux Standard
Base. LSB conformance will not be reported unless the required
metapackages are installed.
While it is intended for use by LSB packages, this command may also be
useful for programmatically distinguishing between a original one and
derived distributions.
