mountpoint: Check if a directory is a mountpoint without showing any output.
$ mountpoint -q ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine
The command "mountpoint -q ${path-to-directory}" is used to check if a directory is a mount point or not.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "mountpoint": It is a command-line utility used to check whether a directory is a mount point or not.
- "-q": It is an option for the "mountpoint" command, which stands for "quiet". It suppresses any output and only returns the exit status.
- "${path-to-directory}": This is a placeholder for the actual path of the directory that you want to check. You need to replace this placeholder with the specific path to the directory you want to test.
When you run this command, it will check whether the specified directory is a mount point or not. If it is, the command will exit with a status of 0. If it is not a mount point, the command will exit with a status of 1.
