.SH EXAMPLES
.IP "\fBfindmnt \-\-fstab \-t nfs\fP"
Prints all NFS filesystems defined in

-.IP "\fBfindmnt --fstab --evaluate\fP"
+.IP "\fBfindmnt \-\-fstab \-\-evaluate\fP"
Prints all
.IR /etc/fstab
filesystems and converts LABEL= and UUID= tags to the real device names.
-.IP "\fBfindmnt -n --raw --evaluate --output=target LABEL=/boot\fP"
