## NAME

mountpoint - see if a directory is a mountpoint

## SYNOPSIS

/bin/mountpoint

/path/to/directory
/bin/mountpoint

/dev/device

## DESCRIPTION

Mountpoint checks if the directory is a mountpoint.

## OPTIONS

\fB-q\fP

Be quiet - don't print anything.

\fB-d\fP

Print major/minor device number of the filesystem on stdout.

\fB-x\fP

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.
