Usage
|
| montpoints |
| The montpoints command does just one thing: it outputs a list of all mount-points on the system. On each line, it outputs the full pathname of one mountpoint, including the root mountpoint ("/"). |
| Sometimes it is necessary to identify a resource not based on where it lies on the system's complete filesystem, and not based on where it lies relative to the Present Working Directory: but rather based on where it lies on a removable filesystem. This is one thing that Un*x (as far as I know) doesn't provide an easy and simple mechanism to do. The montpoints command was written as part of the implementation of a mechanism for doing exactly that. |
| Just as montpoints was written in order to feed information to another (as of yet unwritten) utility, it in itself relies on information that it gets from Un*x's df command. |
