MTAB(5)             UNIX Programmer's Manual              MTAB(5)



NAME
     /etc/mtab - mounted file system table

SYNOPSIS
     #include <mntent.h>

DESCRIPTION
     _M_t_a_b resides in the /_e_t_c directory, and contains a table of
     filesystems currently mounted by the _m_o_u_n_t command.  _U_m_o_u_n_t
     removes entries from this file.

     The file contains a line of information for each mounted
     filesystem, structurally identical to the contents of
     /_e_t_c/_f_s_t_a_b, described in _f_s_t_a_b(5).  There are a number of
     lines of the form:
9          _f_s_n_a_m_e _d_i_r _t_y_p_e _o_p_t_s _f_r_e_q _p_a_s_s_n_o
9     for example:
9          /dev/xy0a / 4.2 rw,noquota 1 2

     The file is accessed by programs using _g_e_t_m_n_t_e_n_t(3), and by
     the system administrator using a text editor.
