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



NAME
     mtab - mounted file system table

DESCRIPTION
     _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.

     Each entry is 64 bytes long; the first 32 are the null-
     padded name of the place where the special file is mounted;
     the second 32 are the null-padded name of the special file.
     The special file has all its directories stripped away; that
     is, everything through the last `/' is thrown away.

     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.

FILES
