MFC r275680:
Add fstyp(8). This utility, named after its SVR4 counterpart, detects filesystems. It differs from file(1) in that it gives machine-parseable output, it outputs filesystem labels, doesn't get confused by other formats metadata, and runs in Capsicum sandbox.

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fstyp
+.Nd determine filesystem type
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl l
+.Op Fl s
+.Ar special
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+utility is used to determine the filesystem type on a given device.
+It can recognize ISO-9660, Ext2, FAT, NTFS, and UFS filesystems.
+The filesystem name is printed to the standard output
+as, respectively,
+.Li cd9660 ,
+.Li ext2fs ,
+.Li msdosfs ,
+.Li ntfs ,
+or
+.Li ufs .
+.Pp
+Because
+.Nm
+is built specifically to detect filesystem types, it differs from
+.Xr file 1
+in several ways.
+The output is machine-parsable, filesystem labels are supported,
+and only filesystems are identified.
+Security is improved with
+.Xr capsicum 4 .
+.Pp
+These options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width ".Fl l"
+.It Fl l
+In addition to filesystem type, print filesystem label if available.
+.It Fl s
+Ignore file type.
+By default,
+.Nm
+only works on regular files and disk-like device nodes.
+Trying to read other file types might have unexpected consequences or hang
+indefinitely.
+.El
+.Sh EXIT STATUS
+The
+.Nm
+utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs or the filesystem
+type is not recognized.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr file 1 ,
+.Xr capsicum 4 ,
+.Xr glabel 8 ,
+.Xr mount 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Fx 11.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+utility was developed by
+.An Edward Tomasz Napierala Aq Mt trasz@FreeBSD.org
+under sponsorship from the FreeBSD Foundation.
