+.TH FINDMNT 8 "May 2018" "util-linux" "System Administration"
+.SH NAME
+findmnt \- find a filesystem
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B findmnt
+[options]
+.sp
+.B findmnt
+[options]
+.IR device | mountpoint
+.sp
+.B findmnt
+[options]
+.RB [ \-\-source ]
+.I device
+.RB [ \-\-target | \-\-mountpoint ]
+.I mountpoint
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B findmnt
+will list all mounted filesystems or search for a filesystem. The
+.B \%findmnt
+command is able to search in
+.IR /etc/fstab ,
+.I /etc/mtab
+or
+.IR /proc/self/mountinfo .
+If
+.I device
+or
+.I mountpoint
+is not given, all filesystems are shown.
+.PP
+The device may be specified by device name, major:minor numbers,
+filesystem label or UUID, or partition label or UUID. Note that
+.B \%findmnt
+follows
+.BR mount (8)
+behavior where a device name may be interpreted
+as a mountpoint (and vice versa) if the \fB\-\-target\fR, \fB\-\-mountpoint\fR or
+\fB\-\-source\fR options are not specified.
+.PP
+The command prints all mounted filesystems in the tree-like format by default.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-A , " \-\-all"
+Disable all built-in filters and print all filesystems.
+.TP
+.BR \-a , " \-\-ascii"
+Use ascii characters for tree formatting.
+.TP
+.BR \-b , " \-\-bytes"
+Print the SIZE, USED and AVAIL columns in bytes rather than in a human-readable format.
+.TP
+.BR \-C , " \-\-nocanonicalize"
+Do not canonicalize paths at all. This option affects the comparing of paths
+and the evaluation of tags (LABEL, UUID, etc.).
+.TP
+.BR \-c , " \-\-canonicalize"
+Canonicalize all printed paths.
+.TP
+.BR \-D , " \-\-df"
+Imitate the output of
+.BR df (1).
+This option is equivalent to
+.B \-o\ SOURCE,FSTYPE,SIZE,USED,AVAIL,USE%,TARGET
+but excludes all pseudo filesystems.
+Use \fB\-\-all\fP to print all filesystems.
+.TP
+.BR \-d , " \-\-direction \fIword\fP"
+The search direction, either
+.B forward
+or
+.BR backward .
+.TP
+.BR \-e , " \-\-evaluate"
+Convert all tags (LABEL, UUID, PARTUUID or PARTLABEL) to the corresponding device names.
+.TP
+.BR \-F , " \-\-tab\-file \fIpath\fP"
+Search in an alternative file. If used with \fB\-\-fstab\fP, \fB\-\-mtab\fP
+or \fB\-\-kernel\fP, then it overrides the default paths. If specified more
+than once, then tree-like output is disabled (see the \fB\-\-list\fP option).
+.TP
+.BR \-f , " \-\-first\-only"
+Print the first matching filesystem only.
+.TP
+.BR \-h , " \-\-help"
+Display help text and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-i , " \-\-invert"
+Invert the sense of matching.
+.TP
+.BR \-J , " \-\-json"
+Use JSON output format.
+.TP
+.BR \-k , " \-\-kernel"
+Search in
+.IR /proc/self/mountinfo .
+The output is in the tree-like format. This is the default. The output
+contains only mount options maintained by kernel (see also \fB\-\-mtab)\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-l , " \-\-list"
+Use the list output format. This output format is automatically enabled if the
+output is restricted by the \fB\-t\fP, \fB\-O\fP, \fB\-S\fP or \fB\-T\fP
+option and the option \fB\-\-submounts\fP is not used or if more that one
+source file (the option \fB\-F\fP) is specified.
+.TP
+.BR \-M , " \-\-mountpoint \fIpath\fP"
+Explicitly define the mountpoint file or directory. See also \fB\-\-target\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-m , " \-\-mtab"
+Search in
+.IR /etc/mtab .
+The output is in the list format by default (see \fB\-\-tree\fP). The output may include user
+space mount options.
+.TP
+.BR \-N , " \-\-task \fItid\fP"
+Use alternative namespace /proc/<tid>/mountinfo rather than the default
+/proc/self/mountinfo. If the option is specified more than once, then
+tree-like output is disabled (see the \fB\-\-list\fP option). See also the
+.BR unshare (1)
+command.
+.TP
+.BR \-n , " \-\-noheadings"
+Do not print a header line.
+.TP
+.BR \-O , " \-\-options \fIlist\fP"
+Limit the set of printed filesystems. More than one option
+may be specified in a comma-separated list. The
+.B \-t
+and
+.B \-O
+options are cumulative in effect. It is different from
+.B \-t
+in that each option is matched exactly; a leading
+.I no
+at the beginning does not have global meaning. The "no" can used for
+individual items in the list. The "no" prefix interpretation can be disabled
+by "+" prefix.
+.TP
+.BR \-o , " \-\-output \fIlist\fP"
+Define output columns. See the \fB\-\-help\fP output to get a list of the
+currently supported columns. The
+.B TARGET
+column contains tree formatting if the
+.B \-\-list
+or
+.B \-\-raw
+options are not specified.
+
+The default list of columns may be extended if \fIlist\fP is
+specified in the format \fI+list\fP (e.g. \fBfindmnt \-o +PROPAGATION\fP).
+.TP
+.B \-\-output\-all
+Output almost all available columns. The columns that require
+.B \-\-poll
+are not included.
+.TP
+.BR \-P , " \-\-pairs"
+Use key="value" output format. All potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped (\\x<code>).
+.TP
+.BR \-p , " \-\-poll\fR[\fI=list\fR]"
+Monitor changes in the /proc/self/mountinfo file. Supported actions are: mount,
+umount, remount and move. More than one action may be specified in a
+comma-separated list. All actions are monitored by default.
+
+The time for which \fB\-\-poll\fR will block can be restricted with the \fB\-\-timeout\fP
+or \fB\-\-first\-only\fP options.
+
+The standard columns always use the new version of the information from the
+mountinfo file, except the umount action which is based on the original
+information cached by
+.BR findmnt (8).
+The poll mode allows to use extra columns:
+.RS
+.TP
+.B ACTION
+mount, umount, move or remount action name; this column is enabled by default
+.TP
+.B OLD-TARGET
+available for umount and move actions
+.TP
+.B OLD-OPTIONS
+available for umount and remount actions
+.RE
+.TP
+.B \-\-pseudo
+Print only pseudo filesystems.
+.TP
+.BR \-R , " \-\-submounts"
+Print recursively all submounts for the selected filesystems. The restrictions
+defined by options \fB\-t\fP, \fB\-O\fP, \fB\-S\fP, \fB\-T\fP and
+\fB\%\-\-direction\fP are not applied to submounts. All submounts are always
+printed in tree-like order. The option enables the tree-like output format by
+default. This option has no effect for \fB\-\-mtab\fP or \fB\-\-fstab\fP.
+.TP
+.BR \-r , " \-\-raw"
+Use raw output format. All potentially unsafe characters are hex-escaped (\\x<code>).
+.TP
+.B \-\-real
+Print only real filesystems.
+.TP
+.BR \-S , " \-\-source \fIspec\fP"
+Explicitly define the mount source. Supported specifications are \fIdevice\fR,
+\fImaj\fB:\fImin\fR, \fBLABEL=\fIlabel\fR, \fBUUID=\fIuuid\fR,
+\fBPARTLABEL=\fIlabel\fR and \fBPARTUUID=\fIuuid\fR.
+.TP
+.BR \-s , " \-\-fstab"
+Search in
+.IR /etc/fstab .
+The output is in the list format (see \fB\-\-list\fR).
+.TP
+.BR \-T , " \-\-target \fIpath\fP"
+Define the mount target. If \fIpath\fR
+is not a mountpoint file or directory, then
+.B findmnt
+checks the \fIpath\fR elements in reverse order to get the mountpoint (this feature is
+supported only when searching in kernel files and unsupported for \fB\-\-fstab\fP). It's
+recommended to use the option \fB\-\-mountpoint\fR when checks of \fIpath\fR elements are
+unwanted and \fIpath\fR is a strictly specified mountpoint.
+.TP
+.BR \-t , " \-\-types \fIlist\fP"
+Limit the set of printed filesystems. More than one type may be
+specified in a comma-separated list. The list of filesystem types can be
+prefixed with
+.B no
+to specify the filesystem types on which no action should be taken. For
+more details see
+.BR mount (8).
+.TP
+.B \-\-tree
+Enable tree-like output if possible. The options is silently ignored for
+tables where is missing child-parent relation (e.g. fstab).
+.TP
+.BR \-U , " \-\-uniq"
+Ignore filesystems with duplicate mount targets, thus effectively skipping
+over-mounted mount points.
+.TP
+.BR \-u , " \-\-notruncate"
+Do not truncate text in columns. The default is to not truncate the
+.BR TARGET ,
+.BR SOURCE ,
+.BR UUID ,
+.BR LABEL ,
+.BR PARTUUID ,
+.B PARTLABEL
+columns. This option disables text truncation also in all other columns.
+.TP
+.BR \-v , " \-\-nofsroot"
+Do not print a [/dir] in the SOURCE column for bind mounts or btrfs subvolumes.
+.TP
+.BR \-w , " \-\-timeout \fImilliseconds\fP"
+Specify an upper limit on the time for which \fB\-\-poll\fR will block, in milliseconds.
+.TP
+.BR \-x , " \-\-verify"
+Check mount table content. The default is to verify
+.I /etc/fstab
+parsability and usability. It's possible to use this option also with \fB\-\-tab\-file\fP.
+It's possible to specify source (device) or target (mountpoint) to filter mount table. The option
+\fB\-\-verbose\fP forces findmnt to print more details.
+.TP
+.B \-\-verbose
+Force findmnt to print more information (\fB\-\-verify\fP only for now).

+.IR /etc/fstab .
