setmnt(1M)

setmnt - establish mount table

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.15. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     setmnt - establish mount table

SYNOPSIS
     setmnt [-f mtab]

DESCRIPTION
     setmnt creates the /etc/mtab table, which is used by the mount(1M) and
     umount commands, among others.  If given the -f option, it creates an
     alternate mtab.  setmnt reads standard input and writes an entry in
     mtab(4) format for each line read.  Input lines have the format:

          fsname dir

     where fsname is the name of the filesystem's special file (for example,
     /dev/dsk/dks?d?s?)  and dir is the mountpoint of that filesystem.  Thus,
     fsname and dir become the first two strings in the mount table entry.

FILES
     /etc/mtab

SEE ALSO
     devnm(1M), mount(1M).

BUGS
     Problems may occur if fsname or dir is longer than 127 characters.
