MOUNTPOINT(1)						Linux System Administrator's Manual					     MOUNTPOINT(1)

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
-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.
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.
