NAME
     mtab - mounted filesystem table

DESCRIPTION
     /etc/mtab contains a table of filesystems currently mounted by the
     mount(1M) command.  umount(1M) removes entries from this file.

     The file contains a line of information for each mounted filesystem,
     structurally identical to the contents of /etc/fstab, described in
     fstab(4).  There are a number of lines of the form:

          filesystem  directory  type  options  frequency  pass

     The dev, port, map, and indirect options are specific to /etc/mtab and
     are used by NFS system programs.

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

EXAMPLES
          /dev/root / xfs rw,raw=/dev/rroot 0 0
          /dev/usr /usr xfs rw,raw=/dev/rusr 0 0
          bonnie:/src /net/src nfs ro,hard,bg,intr,dev=1200 0 0
