.SH NAME
umount, umount2 \- unmount a file system
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
#include <sys/mount.h>

\fBint\fR \fBumount\fR(\fBconst char *\fR\fIfile\fR);
.fi

.LP
.nf
\fBint\fR \fBumount2\fR(\fBconst char *\fR\fIfile\fR, \fBint\fR \fImflag\fR);
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBumount()\fR  function requests that a previously mounted file system
contained on a block special device or directory be unmounted.  The \fIfile\fR
argument is a pointer to the absolute pathname of the file system to be
unmounted. After unmounting the file system, the directory upon which the file
system was mounted reverts to its ordinary interpretation.
.sp
.LP
The \fBumount2()\fR  function is identical to \fBumount()\fR, with the
additional capability of unmounting file systems even if there are open files
active. The \fImflag\fR argument must contain one of the following values:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB0\fR
.ad
.RS 12n
.rt  
Perform a normal unmount that is equivalent to \fBumount()\fR. The
\fBumount2()\fR function  returns \fBEBUSY\fR if there are open files active
within the file system to be unmounted.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBMS_FORCE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 12n
.rt  
Unmount the file system, even if there are open files active. A forced unmount
can result in loss of data, so it should be used only when a regular unmount is
unsuccessful. The \fBumount2()\fR function  returns \fBENOTSUP\fR if the
specified file systems does not support \fBMS_FORCE\fR. Only file systems of
type \fBnfs\fR, \fBufs\fR, \fBpcfs\fR, and \fBzfs\fR support \fBMS_FORCE\fR.
.RE

.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fB0\fR is returned. Otherwise, \fB\(mi1\fR is
returned and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS

search permission is denied on a component of the path prefix.
.sp

.sp
The mountpoint is not a regular file or a directory and the caller does not
have all privileges available in a its zone.

.SH USAGE
.sp
.LP
The \fBumount()\fR and \fBumount2()\fR functions can be invoked only by a
process that has the {\fBPRIV_SYS_MOUNT\fR} privilege asserted in its effective
set.
.sp
.LP
Because it provides greater functionality, the \fBumount2()\fR function is
preferred.
