mountpoint - Unix, Linux Command
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
Tag | Description |
-q
|
Be quiet - dont 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.
