FSTYP_UDF(8)

🦋 FSTYP_UDF(8) — the check-for-a-UDF-volume girlie 🦋

okay so bestie, grab a lil snack because this one is short and sweet — it's a System Manager's Manual page for fstyp_udf, and honestly it's giving "tiny but mighty" energy ✨

💅 NAME 💅

fstyp_udf — the little utility that checks whether there's a UDF volume on a device 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

fstyp_udf device

that's it. one argument. no flags, no drama, no nothing. iconic behavior honestly 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so first thing you need to know, bestie: fstyp_udf is not meant to be run directly by you. nope, not even a little. it's a backstage helper — it gets called by fstyp(8) while fstyp(8) is out there trying to figure out which file system type is actually sitting on the given device. so it's like the friend who goes "wait, I know this one" while the group is trying to guess 🧚

and what does it give back? very simple, very demure:

• it returns 1 if it thinks the device contains a UDF volume
• and it returns 0 otherwise

that's the whole personality. no cap. 🔥

⚠️ lowkey important: don't go running this one yourself expecting a cute output. it's an internal little helper for fstyp(8), periodt.
