.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <util.h>
.Ft char *
.Fn readlabelfs "char *device" "int verbose"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn readlabelfs

If the
.Fa verbose
argument is not 0,
.Fn readlabelfs
will print appropriate error messages before returning.
Otherwise, it produces no output on the terminal.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn readlabelfs
returns
.Dv NULL
upon error, or a valid filesystem type upon success.
.Sh HISTORY
.Fn readlabelfs
first appeared in
.Ox 2.0 .
