mntfinder 0.1.1

Parse /proc/mounts and find/list mountpoints (Not a wrapper of findmnt)

mntfinder

Parse /proc/mounts and find/list mountpoints.

This project IS NOT a wrapper of findmnt.

Install

Just run the command: pip install mntfinder.

Or you can download and install the wheel file from release page manually.

Examples

All functions shown below can search for mountpoints in /proc/<pid>/mounts via the keyword argument pid. If not specified pid, these functions will search in /proc/mounts (it is usually linked to /proc/self/mounts.)

mntfinder.findMountPointByTarget(target: str | bytes | os.PathLike, *, pid: int | None = None) -> MountPoint | None

import mntfinder

mountpoint = mntfinder.findMountPointByTarget('/mnt/data')
if mountpoint:
    print(f"Mount point found: {mountpoint.source} -> {mountpoint.target} (Filesystem type: {mountpoint.fstype})")
else:
    print("Mount point not found")

mntfinder.listAllMountPoints(*, source: str | None = None, target: str | bytes | os.PathLike | None = None, fstype: str | None = None, pid: int | None = None) -> list[MountPoint]

Retrieve all mount points

import mntfinder

mountpoints = mntfinder.listAllMountPoints()

Retrieve mount points with a specific source

import mntfinder

mountpoints = mntfinder.listAllMountPoints(source='/dev/sda1')

Retrieve mount points with a specific target

import mntfinder

mountpoints = mntfinder.listAllMountPoints(target='/mnt/data')

Retrieve mount points with a specific file system type

import mntfinder

mountpoints = mntfinder.listAllMountPoints(fstype='ext4')

mntfinder.isMountPoint(target: str | bytes | os.PathLike, *, source: str | None = None, fstype: str | None = None, pid: int | None = None) -> bool

import mntfinder

is_mount = mntfinder.isMountPoint('/mnt/data', source='/dev/sdb1', fstype='ext4')
if is_mount:
    print('/mnt/data is a mountpoint')
else:
    print('/mnt/data is not a mountpoint')
