Description

findmnt is a very useful utility, but it's not included in the util-linux port. It would be really nice if it were possible to add it.

The upstream project for util-linux does not provide all tools for all platforms. I would assume that findmnt relies on platform-specific APIs to read the list of mounts and therefore it is likely not supported on macOS at all.

@Rainer: "I would assume..." What does that mean? Are you rejecting the request based on that assumption?

findmt currently doesn't build for me on Ventura. I'm not sure the code is portalbe enough to work on macOS.

I doubt this will happen; my machine doesn't have mntent.h and I'd assume others don't as well.
