LSB version query program (lsb_release) with support of /etc/os-release.

Original written by Dominique Massonie (mdomi@users.sourceforge.net)

This program forms part of the required functionality of the LSB (Linux Standard Base) specification.

The program queries the installed state of the distribution to display certain properties such as the version of the LSB against which the distribution claims compliance as well. It can also attempt to display the name and release of the distribution along with an identifier of who produces the distribution.
