 NAME
      mnttab - mounted file system table

 SYNOPSIS
      #include <mntent.h>

 DESCRIPTION
      mnttab resides in directory /etc and contains a table of devices
      mounted by the mount command (see mount(1M)).  The file contains a
      line of information for each mounted filesystem which, with the
      exception of the cnode_id field, is structurally identical to the
      contents of /etc/checklist described by checklist(4).

      There are a number of lines of the form:

           special_file_name dir  type  opts  freq  passno mount_time
           cnode_id

      consisting of entries similar to:

           /dev/dsk/c0d0s0  /  hfs  rw  0  1  537851723  1

      /etc/mnttab is accessed by programs that use getmntent() (see
      getmntent(3X)), It should never be manually edited, nor should setmnt
      ever be used to create invalid entries in /etc/mnttab (see
      setmnt(1M)).

      mount_time contains the time the file system was mounted using mount.
      Its value is the number of seconds since the Epoch (00:00:00
      Coordinated Universal Time, January 1, 1970 (see time(2).

      mount and umount rewrite the mnttab file whenever a file system is
      mounted or unmounted if mnttab is found to be out of date with the
      mounted file system table maintained internally by the HP-UX kernel.
      syncer also updates mnttab if it is out of date (see syncer(1M).

 WARNINGS
      The table is provided only as a means for programs to return
      information about mounted file systems.

      /etc/mnttab should never be manually edited.  Any manual changes made
      to /etc/mnttab are overwritten without warning by syncer, mount, and
      umount.
