MOUNTPOINT
Section: Linux System Administrator's Manual (1)
Updated: Mar 15, 2004
NAME
mountpoint - see if a directory is a mountpoint
SYNOPSIS
/bin/mountpoint
[-q]
[-d]
/path/to/directory
/bin/mountpoint
-x
/dev/device
DESCRIPTION
Mountpoint checks if the directory is a mountpoint.
OPTIONS
- -q
-
Be quiet - don't print anything.
- -d
-
Print major/minor device number of the filesystem on stdout.
- -x
-
Print major/minor device number of the blockdevice on stdout.
EXIT STATUS
Zero if the directory is a mountpoint, non-zero if not.
NOTES
Symbolic links are not followed, except when the -x option is
used. To force following symlinks, add a trailing slash to the
path of the directory.
The name of the command is misleading when the -x option is used,
but the option is useful for comparing if a directory and a device
match up, and there is no other command that can print the info easily.
