Please be more specific. Why do you need it? Filesystems usable by Linux are well known.

This works, but does not contain all filesystems. I find out, that after using parted then mkpart, you will be asked what FS you want to use, then you click tabulator, and it show all filesystems.

@ByteCommandercompgen -c mkfs.does the same programmatically

You can start gparted and try to format a partition.
You'll get a drop down list of all available filesystems.
In addition you can format to exfat that is not supported by gparted.

Try this:
Open Terminal
Paste this and hit Enter:
ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs
It lists all filesystems available with your Kernel

Thanks for answer, but that is not exactly I was looking for. Most of these are unusable with mkfs.
