MTAB(5)MTAB(5)NAMEmtab - mounted file system table
SYNOPSIS
/etc/mtab
#include <mntent.h>
DESCRIPTION
Mtab resides in the /etc directory, and contains a table of filesystems
currently mounted by the mount command. Umount removes entries from
this file.
The file contains a line of information for each mounted filesystem,
structurally identical to the contents of /etc/fstab, described in
fstab(5). There are a number of lines of the form:
fsname dir type opts freq passno
for example:
/dev/xy0a / 4.2 rw,noquota 1 2
The file is accessed by programs using getmntent(3), and by the system
administrator using a text editor.
