osinfo−query − Query information in the database
osinfo-query [OPTIONS...] TYPE [CONDITION−1 [CONDITION−2 ...]]
The "osinfo−query" command allows extraction of information from the database. TYPE can be one of "os", "platform", "device", or "deployment". With no conditions specified, all entities of the given type will be listed.
