SYNOPSIS

fstab-decode COMMAND [ARGUMENT]...

DESCRIPTION

fstab-decode decodes escapes in the specified FIARGUMENTs and uses them to run COMMAND. The argument escaping uses the same rules as path escaping in /etc/fstab, /etc/mtab and /proc/mtab.

EXAMPLES

fstab-decode umount $(awk '$3 == vfat { print $2 }' /etc/fstab)
