NAME
     rmmount, rmumount - mounts and unmounts removable media

SYNOPSIS
     rmmount  [-u] [-o options] [nickname | device] [mount_point]


     rmmount  [-d] [-l]


     rmumount  [nickname | mount_point | device]


     rmumount  [-d] [-l]


DESCRIPTION
     The rmmount and rmumount utilities mount and unmount  remov-
     able  or  hot-pluggable  volumes.  The optional argument can
     identify the volume by its  volume  label,  mount  point  or
     block device path.


     rmmount can also take additional mount options if  the  user
     has  sufficient  privileges  to  override  the default mount
     options.


     Unmounting removable media does not result in its  ejection.
     Use eject(1) to optionally unmount and eject the media.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported  for  rmmount  and  rmu-
     mount:

     -d    Display the device path of the  default  device.  This
           device is used if no arguments are supplied.


     -l    Display the paths and nicknames of mountable devices.



     The following options are supported for rmmount only:

     -o options    Display mount options. This option can only be
                   used by users that have privileges to override
                   the system default options.


     -u            Unmounts the volume as opposed to mounting it.
