Other (Non-libc) Sources of Mount Information
.............................................

   On a system with a Linux kernel and the `proc' filesystem, you can
get information on currently mounted filesystems from the file `mounts'
in the `proc' filesystem.  Its format is similar to that of the `mtab'
file, but represents what is truly mounted without relying on
facilities outside the kernel to keep `mtab' up to date.
