_M_t_a_b resides in directory /_e_t_c and contains a table of dev-
ices mounted by the _m_o_u_n_t command. _U_m_o_u_n_t removes entries.
The table is a series of _m_t_a_b structures, as defined in
<mtab.h>. Each entry contains the null-padded name of the
place where the special file is mounted, the null-padded
name of the special file, and a type field, one of those
defined in <_f_s_t_a_b._h>. The special file has all its direc-
tories stripped away; that is, everything through the last
`/' is thrown away. The type field indicates if the file
system is mounted read-only, read-write, or read-write with
disk quotas enabled.
This table is present only so people can look at it. It
does not matter to _m_o_u_n_t if there are duplicated entries nor
to _u_m_o_u_n_t if a name cannot be found.
