47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50utility calls the
51.Xr unmount 2
52system call to remove a file system from the file system tree.
53The file system can be specified by its
54.Ar special
55device or remote node (rhost:path), the path to the mount point
56.Ar node
57or by the file system ID
58.Ar fsid
59as reported by
60.Dq mount -v
61when run by root.
62.Pp
63The options are as follows:
64.Bl -tag -width indent
65.It Fl a
66All the file systems described in
67.Xr fstab 5
68are unmounted.
69.It Fl A
70All the currently mounted file systems except
71the root are unmounted.
72.It Fl F Ar fstab
73Specify the
74.Pa fstab
75file to use.
76.It Fl f
77The file system is forcibly unmounted.
78Active special devices continue to work,
79but all other files return errors if further accesses are attempted.
80The root file system cannot be forcibly unmounted.
81.It Fl h Ar host
82Only file systems mounted from the specified host will be
83unmounted.
84This option implies the
85.Fl A
86option and, unless otherwise specified with the
87.Fl t
88option, will only unmount
89.Tn NFS
90file systems.
91.It Fl t Ar type
92Is used to indicate the actions should only be taken on
93file systems of the specified type.
94More than one type may be specified in a comma separated list.
95The list of file system types can be prefixed with
96.Dq no
97to specify the file system types for which action should
98.Em not
99be taken.
100For example, the
101.Nm
102command:
103.Bd -literal -offset indent
104umount -a -t nfs,nullfs
105.Ed
106.Pp
107unmounts all file systems of the type
108.Tn NFS
109and
110.Tn NULLFS
111that are listed in the
112.Xr fstab 5
113file.
114.It Fl v
115Verbose, additional information is printed out as each file system
116is unmounted.

121If the environment variable
122.Ev PATH_FSTAB
123is set, all operations are performed against the specified file.
124.Ev PATH_FSTAB
125will not be honored if the process environment or memory address space is
