I'm slowly working on making autofs suitable for mounting removable media, and one of the things required is filesystem detection. It's kind of possible to use file(1), but it's, well, "suboptimal" for this task. So, I went and wrote fstyp(8). This utility, named after SVR4 command with same weird name, detects filesystems. It's mostly based on glabel code. The output is machine parseable, it can print out filesystem labels, and runs capsicated. You can join the review at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1255.
