Previous: mtab, Up: Mount Information

##### 30.3.1.3 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.
