Description Adam Williamson 2016-06-30 16:03:45 UTC 
'man osinfo-query' claims:

"The exit status will be 0 if matching entries were found, or 1 if not matches were found"

However:

[adamw@adam tools (relabel-permissive %)]$ rpm -q libosinfo
libosinfo-0.3.0-2.fc24.x86_64
[adamw@adam tools (relabel-permissive %)]$ osinfo-query os short-id=fedora24
