mountpoint − see if a directory is a mountpoint
/bin/mountpoint
[−q] [−d]
/path/to/directory
/bin/mountpoint −x /dev/device
Mountpoint checks if the directory is a mountpoint.
−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. |
Zero if the directory is a mountpoint, non-zero if not.
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.
