umount

umount: unmount filesystems.

Synopsis

umount dir…

Description

umount takes away the filesystem mounted at each dir named. A failure is reported on standard error as umount: dir: reason and the rest are still tried.

Exit status

0 if every one was unmounted (or none was named), 1 if any could not be.

Notes

Only a mount point is taken, not a device, and there are no options. The kernel mounts and unmounts the bus’s disks by itself as they come and go.
