| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| \fBMountpoint\fP checks if the directory is a mountpoint. |
| |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .IP \fB\-q\fP |
| Be quiet - don't print anything. |
| .IP \fB\-d\fP |
| Print major/minor device number of the filesystem on stdout. |
| .IP \fB\-x\fP |
| Print major/minor device number of the blockdevice on stdout. |
| .SH EXIT STATUS |
| Zero if the directory is a mountpoint, non-zero if not. |
| .SH NOTES |
| Symbolic links are not followed, except when the \fB-x\fP option is |
| used. To force following symlinks, add a trailing slash to the |
| path of the directory. |
| .PP |
| 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. |
