NAME
     fstyp_ident - identify filesystem type

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lfstyp -lnvpair [ library... ]
     #include <libnvpair.h>
     #include <libfstyp.h>

     int fstyp_ident(fstyp_handle_t handle, const char *fstyp,
         const char **ident);

     handle          Opaque handle returned by fstyp_init(3FSTYP)
     
     fstyp           Optional argument, specifies filesystem type
                     to identify.

     ident           If identification succeeds, filesystem type
                     string is returned in this argument.

     fstyp_ident() attempts to identify a filesystem associated
     with the handle. It If fucntion succeeds, filesystem name is
     returned in ident pointer.
     
     If fstype is NULL, fstyp_ident() will try all available
     identification modules. If fstype is not NULL, it will try
     only the module for the specified filesystem type.

ERRORS
     fstyp_ident() returns 0 on success and an error value on
     failure. See fstyp_strerror(3FSTYP).
