identificationSYNOPSIS top

/etc/initrd-release
/usr/lib/extension-release.d/extension-release._IMAGE_DESCRIPTION top
The /etc/os-release and /usr/lib/os-release files contain
operating system identification data.
The format of os-release is a newline-separated list of
environment-like shell-compatible variable assignments. It is
possible to source the configuration from Bourne shell scripts,
however, beyond mere variable assignments, no shell features are
supported (this means variable expansion is explicitly not
supported), allowing applications to read the file without
implementing a shell compatible execution engine. Variable
assignment values must be enclosed in double or single quotes if
they include spaces, semicolons or other special characters
outside of A–Z, a–z, 0–9. (Assignments that do not include these
special characters may be enclosed in quotes too, but this is
optional.) Shell special characters ("$", quotes, backslash,
backtick) must be escaped with backslashes, following shell style.
All strings should be in UTF-8 encoding, and non-printable
characters should not be used. Concatenation of multiple
individually quoted strings is not supported. Lines beginning with
"#" are treated as comments. Blank lines are permitted and
ignored.
The file /etc/os-release takes precedence over
/usr/lib/os-release. Applications should check for the former, and
exclusively use its data if it exists, and only fall back to
/usr/lib/os-release if that is missing. Applications should not
combine the data from both files. /usr/lib/os-release is the
recommended place to store OS release information as part of
vendor trees. /etc/os-release should be a relative symlink to
/usr/lib/os-release, to provide compatibility with applications
only looking at /etc/. A relative symlink instead of an absolute
symlink is necessary to avoid breaking the link in a chroot or
initrd environment.
os-release contains data that is defined by the operating system
vendor and should generally not be changed by the administrator.
As this file only encodes names and identifiers it should not be
localized.
The /etc/os-release and /usr/lib/os-release files might be
symlinks to other files, but it is important that the file is
available from earliest boot on, and hence must be located on the
root file system.
os-release must not contain repeating keys. Nevertheless, readers
should pick the entries later in the file in case of repeats,
similarly to how a shell sourcing the file would. A reader may
warn about repeating entries.
For a longer rationale for os-release please refer to the
**Announcement of /etc/os-release**[1]./etc/initrd-release In the initrd[2] and exitrd, /etc/initrd-release plays the same role as os-release in the main system. Additionally, the presence of that file means that the system is in the initrd/exitrd phase. /etc/os-release should be symlinked to /etc/initrd-release (or vice versa), so programs that only look for /etc/os-release (as described above) work correctly.
The rest of this document that talks about os-release should be
understood to apply to initrd-release too.[1m/usr/lib/extension-release.d/extension-release.IMAGE /usr/lib/extension-release.d/extension-release.IMAGE plays the same role for extension images as os-release for the main system, and follows the syntax and rules as described in the Portable Services[3] page. The purpose of this file is to identify the extension and to allow the operating system to verify that the extension image matches the base OS. This is typically implemented by checking that the ID= options match, and either SYSEXTLEVEL= exists and matches too, or if it is not present, VERSIONID= exists and matches. This ensures ABI/API compatibility between the layers and prevents merging of an incompatible image in an overlay.
In order to identify the extension image itself, the same fields
defined below can be added to the extension-release file with a
_SYSEXT_ prefix (to disambiguate from fields used to match on the
base image). E.g.: _SYSEXTID=myext_, _SYSEXTVERSIONID=1.2.3_.
In the extension-release._IMAGE_ filename, the _IMAGE_ part must
exactly match the file name of the containing image with the
suffix removed. In case it is not possible to guarantee that an
image file name is stable and does not change between the build
and the deployment phases, it is possible to relax this check: if
exactly one file whose name matches "extension-release.*" is
present in this directory, and the file is tagged with a
_user.extension-release.strict_ [xattr(7)](../man7/xattr.7.html) set to the string "0", it
will be used instead.
The rest of this document that talks about os-release should be
understood to apply to extension-release too.OPTIONS top
The following OS identifications parameters may be set using
os-release:General information identifying the operating system NAME= A string identifying the operating system, without a version component, and suitable for presentation to the user. If not set, a default of "NAME=Linux" may be used.
Examples: "NAME=Fedora", "NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"".
_ID=_
A lower-case string (no spaces or other characters outside of
0–9, a–z, ".", "_" and "-") identifying the operating system,
excluding any version information and suitable for processing
by scripts or usage in generated filenames. If not set, a
default of "ID=linux" may be used. Note that even though this
string may not include characters that require shell quoting,
quoting may nevertheless be used.
Examples: "ID=fedora", "ID=debian".
_IDLIKE=_
A space-separated list of operating system identifiers in the
same syntax as the _ID=_ setting. It should list identifiers of
operating systems that are closely related to the local
operating system in regards to packaging and programming
interfaces, for example listing one or more OS identifiers the
local OS is a derivative from. An OS should generally only
list other OS identifiers it itself is a derivative of, and
not any OSes that are derived from it, though symmetric
relationships are possible. Build scripts and similar should
check this variable if they need to identify the local
operating system and the value of _ID=_ is not recognized.
Operating systems should be listed in order of how closely the
local operating system relates to the listed ones, starting
with the closest. This field is optional.
Examples: for an operating system with "ID=centos", an
assignment of "ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"" would be appropriate.
For an operating system with "ID=ubuntu", an assignment of
"ID_LIKE=debian" is appropriate.
_PRETTYNAME=_
A pretty operating system name in a format suitable for
presentation to the user. May or may not contain a release
code name or OS version of some kind, as suitable. If not set,
a default of "PRETTY_NAME="Linux"" may be used
Example: "PRETTY_NAME="Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)"".
_CPENAME=_
A CPE name for the operating system, in URI binding syntax,
following the **Common Platform Enumeration Specification**[4] as
proposed by the NIST. This field is optional.
Example: "CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:17""
_VARIANT=_
A string identifying a specific variant or edition of the
operating system suitable for presentation to the user. This
field may be used to inform the user that the configuration of
this system is subject to a specific divergent set of rules or
default configuration settings. This field is optional and may
not be implemented on all systems.
Examples: "VARIANT="Server Edition"", "VARIANT="Smart
Refrigerator Edition"".
Note: this field is for display purposes only. The _VARIANTID_
field should be used for making programmatic decisions.
Added in version 220.
_VARIANTID=_
A lower-case string (no spaces or other characters outside of
0–9, a–z, ".", "_" and "-"), identifying a specific variant or
edition of the operating system. This may be interpreted by
other packages in order to determine a divergent default
configuration. This field is optional and may not be
implemented on all systems.
Examples: "VARIANT_ID=server", "VARIANT_ID=embedded".
Added in version 220.Information about the version of the operating system VERSION= A string identifying the operating system version, excluding any OS name information, possibly including a release code name, and suitable for presentation to the user. This field is optional.
Examples: "VERSION=17", "VERSION="17 (Beefy Miracle)"".
_VERSIONID=_
A lower-case string (mostly numeric, no spaces or other
characters outside of 0–9, a–z, ".", "_" and "-") identifying
the operating system version, excluding any OS name
information or release code name, and suitable for processing
by scripts or usage in generated filenames. This field is
optional.
Examples: "VERSION_ID=17", "VERSION_ID=11.04".
_VERSIONCODENAME=_
A lower-case string (no spaces or other characters outside of
0–9, a–z, ".", "_" and "-") identifying the operating system
release code name, excluding any OS name information or
release version, and suitable for processing by scripts or
usage in generated filenames. This field is optional and may
not be implemented on all systems.
Examples: "VERSION_CODENAME=buster",
"VERSION_CODENAME=xenial".
Added in version 231.
_BUILDID=_
A string uniquely identifying the system image originally used
as the installation base. In most cases, _VERSIONID_ or
_IMAGEID_+_IMAGEVERSION_ are updated when the entire system
image is replaced during an update. _BUILDID_ may be used in
distributions where the original installation image version is
important: _VERSIONID_ would change during incremental system
updates, but _BUILDID_ would not. This field is optional.
Examples: "BUILD_ID="2013-03-20.3"", "BUILD_ID=201303203".
Added in version 200.
_IMAGEID=_
A lower-case string (no spaces or other characters outside of
0–9, a–z, ".", "_" and "-"), identifying a specific image of
the operating system. This is supposed to be used for
environments where OS images are prepared, built, shipped and
updated as comprehensive, consistent OS images. This field is
optional and may not be implemented on all systems, in
particularly not on those that are not managed via images but
put together and updated from individual packages and on the
local system.
Examples: "IMAGE_ID=vendorx-cashier-system",
"IMAGE_ID=netbook-image".
Added in version 249.
_IMAGEVERSION=_
A lower-case string (mostly numeric, no spaces or other
characters outside of 0–9, a–z, ".", "_" and "-") identifying
the OS image version. This is supposed to be used together
with _IMAGEID_ described above, to discern different versions
of the same image.
Examples: "IMAGE_VERSION=33", "IMAGE_VERSION=47.1rc1".
Added in version 249.
_RELEASETYPE=_
A lower-case string (no spaces or other characters outside of
0-9, a-z, ".", "_", and "-"), describing what kind of release
this version of the OS is. Known values follow:
• "stable" is for normal releases of the system, suitable
for production use. Generally, stable releases become
end-of-life soon after the next major stable release is
out, although this might not be the case if, for example,
a distribution adopts a rolling release model and still be
production ready. Examples include Fedora 40, Ubuntu
23.10, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, and Arch Linux.
• "lts" is for long term support releases of the system,
suitable for production use and supported for an extended
period of time. Generally, LTS releases continue to
receive support even if newer major releases of the
distribution are available. Examples include Ubuntu 24.04,
Debian 12 Bookworm and RHEL 9.4.
• "development" is for unstable versions of the system,
unsuitable for production use, such as alpha, beta, or
rolling unstable releases. Examples include Fedora
Rawhide, Debian Testing, Fedora 40 Beta, and GNOME OS
Nightly.
• "experiment" is for experimental builds of the system,
created specifically to test some work-in-progress
feature. This is meant to be used in combination with
_EXPERIMENT=_.
If unset, or an unknown value, assume that the release is
"stable".
Examples: "RELEASE_TYPE=development", "RELEASE_TYPE=lts".
Added in version 257.
To summarize: if the image updates are built and shipped as
comprehensive units, _IMAGEID_+_IMAGEVERSION_ is the best fit.
Otherwise, if updates eventually completely replace previously
installed contents, as in a typical binary distribution,
_VERSIONID_ should be used to identify major releases of the
operating system. _BUILDID_ may be used instead or in addition to
_VERSIONID_ when the original system image version is important.Presentation information and links HOMEURL=, DOCUMENTATIONURL=, SUPPORTURL=, BUGREPORTURL=, PRIVACYPOLICYURL= Links to resources on the Internet related to the operating system. HOMEURL= should refer to the homepage of the operating system, or alternatively some homepage of the specific version of the operating system. DOCUMENTATIONURL= should refer to the main documentation page for this operating system. SUPPORTURL= should refer to the main support page for the operating system, if there is any. This is primarily intended for operating systems which vendors provide support for. BUGREPORTURL= should refer to the main bug reporting page for the operating system, if there is any. This is primarily intended for operating systems that rely on community QA. PRIVACYPOLICYURL= should refer to the main privacy policy page for the operating system, if there is any. These settings are optional, and providing only some of these settings is common. These URLs are intended to be exposed in "About this system" UIs behind links with captions such as "About this Operating System", "Obtain Support", "Report a Bug", or "Privacy Policy". The values should be in RFC3986 format[5], and should be "http:" or "https:" URLs, and possibly "mailto:" or "tel:". Only one URL shall be listed in each setting. If multiple resources need to be referenced, it is recommended to provide an online landing page linking all available resources.
Examples: "HOME_URL="https://fedoraproject.org/"",
"BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/"".
_SUPPORTEND=_
The date at which support for this version of the OS ends.
(What exactly "lack of support" means varies between vendors,
but generally users should assume that updates, including
security fixes, will not be provided.) The value is a date in
the ISO 8601 format "YYYY-MM-DD", and specifies the first day
on which support _is not_ provided.
For example, "SUPPORT_END=2001-01-01" means that the system
was supported until the end of the last day of the previous
millennium.
Added in version 252.
_LOGO=_
A string, specifying the name of an icon as defined by
**freedesktop.org Icon Theme Specification**[6]. This can be used
by graphical applications to display an operating system's or
distributor's logo. This field is optional and may not
necessarily be implemented on all systems.
Examples: "LOGO=fedora-logo", "LOGO=distributor-logo-opensuse"
Added in version 240.
_ANSICOLOR=_
A suggested presentation color when showing the OS name on the
console. This should be specified as string suitable for
inclusion in the ESC [ m ANSI/ECMA-48 escape code for setting
graphical rendition. This field is optional.
Examples: "ANSI_COLOR="0;31"" for red, "ANSI_COLOR="1;34"" for
light blue, or "ANSI_COLOR="0;38;2;60;110;180"" for Fedora
blue.
_VENDORNAME=_
The name of the OS vendor. This is the name of the
organization or company which produces the OS. This field is
optional.
This name is intended to be exposed in "About this system" UIs
or software update UIs when needed to distinguish the OS
vendor from the OS itself. It is intended to be human
readable.
Examples: "VENDOR_NAME="Fedora Project"" for Fedora Linux,
"VENDOR_NAME="Canonical"" for Ubuntu.
Added in version 254.
_VENDORURL=_
The homepage of the OS vendor. This field is optional. The
_VENDORNAME=_ field should be set if this one is, although
clients must be robust against either field not being set.
The value should be in **RFC3986 format**[5], and should be
"http:" or "https:" URLs. Only one URL shall be listed in the
setting.
Examples: "VENDOR_URL="https://fedoraproject.org/"",
"VENDOR_URL="https://canonical.com/"".
Added in version 254.
_EXPERIMENT=_
A human-presentable description of what makes this build of
the OS experimental. This field is optional. The _RELEASETYPE_
field should be set to "experiment" if this field is set,
otherwise clients should ignore this field.
This description is intended to be exposed at system
installation time, or in "About this system" UIs, to warn the
user that they're installing/running an experimental build of
the OS. If _RELEASETYPE_ is "experiment" but this field is
unset, the UI should still warn the user, but it will be
unable to explain what exactly is experimental about the
current build of the OS.
Examples: "EXPERIMENT="Switch to DNF5"" for an experimental
build of Fedora Linux made to test DNF5, "EXPERIMENT="Port to
Apple M3 chip"" for experimental builds of Asahi Linux ported
to the Apple M3 SoC, "EXPERIMENT="Mutter !1441: Dynamic
triple/double buffering (v4)"" for builds of GNOME OS created
by Mutter's CI for merge request !1441.
Added in version 257.
_EXPERIMENTURL=_
The main informational page about what makes the current OS
build experimental, where users can learn more about the
experiment's status and potentially leave feedback. This field
is optional. The _EXPERIMENT=_ field should be set if this one
is, although clients must be robust against either field not
being set.
The value should be in **RFC3986 format**[5], and should be
"http:" or "https:" URLs. Only one URL shall be listed in the
setting.
Examples, corresponding to the examples above in _EXPERIMENT=_:
"EXPERIMENT_URL="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwitchToDnf5"",
"EXPERIMENT_URL="https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/M3-Series-Feature-Support"",
"EXPERIMENT_URL="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1441"".
Added in version 257.Distribution-level defaults and metadata DEFAULTHOSTNAME= A string specifying the hostname if hostname(5) is not present and no other configuration source specifies the hostname. Must be either a single DNS label (a string composed of 7-bit ASCII lower-case characters and no spaces or dots, limited to the format allowed for DNS domain name labels), or a sequence of such labels separated by single dots that forms a valid DNS FQDN. The hostname must be at most 64 characters, which is a Linux limitation (DNS allows longer names).
See [org.freedesktop.hostname1(5)](../man5/org.freedesktop.hostname1.5.html) for a description of how
[systemd-hostnamed.service(8)](../man8/systemd-hostnamed.service.8.html) determines the fallback hostname.
Added in version 248.
_ARCHITECTURE=_
A string that specifies which CPU architecture the userspace
binaries require. The architecture identifiers are the same as
for _ConditionArchitecture=_ described in [systemd.unit(5)](../man5/systemd.unit.5.html). The
field is optional and should only be used when just single
architecture is supported. It may provide redundant
information when used in a GPT partition with a GUID type that
already encodes the architecture. If this is not the case, the
architecture should be specified in e.g., an extension image,
to prevent an incompatible host from loading it.
Added in version 252.
_SYSEXTLEVEL=_
A lower-case string (mostly numeric, no spaces or other
characters outside of 0–9, a–z, ".", "_" and "-") identifying
the operating system extensions support level, to indicate
which extension images are supported. See
/usr/lib/extension-release.d/extension-release._IMAGE_,
**initrd**[2] and [systemd-sysext(8)](../man8/systemd-sysext.8.html)) for more information.
Examples: "SYSEXT_LEVEL=2", "SYSEXT_LEVEL=15.14".
Added in version 248.
_CONFEXTLEVEL=_
Semantically the same as _SYSEXTLEVEL=_ but for confext images.
See /etc/extension-release.d/extension-release._IMAGE_ for more
information.
Examples: "CONFEXT_LEVEL=2", "CONFEXT_LEVEL=15.14".
Added in version 254.
_SYSEXTSCOPE=_
Takes a space-separated list of one or more of the strings
"system", "initrd" and "portable". This field is only
supported in extension-release.d/ files and indicates what
environments the system extension is applicable to: i.e. to
regular systems, to initrds and exitrds, or to portable
service images. If not specified, "SYSEXT_SCOPE=system
portable" is implied, i.e. any system extension without this
field is applicable to regular systems and to portable service
environments, but not to initrd/exitrd environments.
Added in version 250.
_CONFEXTSCOPE=_
Semantically the same as _SYSEXTSCOPE=_ but for confext images.
Added in version 254.
_PORTABLEPREFIXES=_
Takes a space-separated list of one or more valid prefix match
strings for the **Portable Services**[3] logic. This field serves
two purposes: it is informational, identifying portable
service images as such (and thus allowing them to be
distinguished from other OS images, such as bootable system
images). It is also used when a portable service image is
attached: the specified or implied portable service prefix is
checked against the list specified here, to enforce
restrictions how images may be attached to a system.
Added in version 250.Notes If you are using this file to determine the OS or a specific version of it, use the ID and VERSIONID fields, possibly with IDLIKE as fallback for ID. When looking for an OS identification string for presentation to the user use the PRETTYNAME field.
Note that operating system vendors may choose not to provide
version information, for example to accommodate for rolling
releases. In this case, _VERSION_ and _VERSIONID_ may be unset.
Applications should not rely on these fields to be set.
Operating system vendors may extend the file format and introduce
new fields. It is highly recommended to prefix new fields with an
OS specific name in order to avoid name clashes. Applications
reading this file must ignore unknown fields.
Example: "DEBIAN_BTS="debbugs://bugs.debian.org/"".
Container and sandbox runtime managers may make the host's
identification data available to applications by providing the
host's /etc/os-release (if available, otherwise
/usr/lib/os-release as a fallback) as /run/host/os-release.EXAMPLES top
