Exit Status
Zero if the directory is a mountpoint, non-zero if not.Notes
Symbolic links are not followed, except when the -x option is used. To force following symlinks, add a trailing slash to the path of the directory.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.
