+.TH proc_pid_mounts 5 (date) "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
+.SH NAME
+/proc/pid/mounts \- mounted filesystems
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.TP
+.IR /proc/ pid /mounts " (since Linux 2.4.19)"
+This file lists all the filesystems currently mounted in the
+process's mount namespace (see
+.BR mount_namespaces (7)).
+The format of this file is documented in
+.BR fstab (5).
+.IP
+Since Linux 2.6.15, this file is pollable:
+after opening the file for reading, a change in this file
+(i.e., a filesystem mount or unmount) causes
+.BR select (2)
+to mark the file descriptor as having an exceptional condition, and
+.BR poll (2)
+and
+.BR epoll_wait (2)
+mark the file as having a priority event
+.RB ( POLLPRI ).
+(Before Linux 2.6.30,
+a change in this file was indicated by the file descriptor
+being marked as readable for
+.BR select (2),
+and being marked as having an error condition for
+.BR poll (2)
+and
+.BR epoll_wait (2).)
+.TP
+.I /proc/mounts
+Before Linux 2.4.19, this file was a list
+of all the filesystems currently mounted on the system.
+With the introduction of per-process mount namespaces in Linux 2.4.19 (see
+.BR mount_namespaces (7)),
+this file became a link to
+.IR /proc/self/mounts ,
+which lists the mounts of the process's own mount namespace.
+The format of this file is documented in
+.BR fstab (5).
