HUMOUNT(1)

💅 humount(1) — like, the General Commands Manual page for humount, bestie 💅

okay so. welcome to the humount era. this is a page from the General Commands Manual section, and it's about to be your new fave little cleanup command. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

humount — remove an HFS volume from the list of known volumes

like... it's giving "uninvited from the group chat." 💀

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

humount [volume-name-or-path]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional lil argument and she's done. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so humount is the command you use to forget about an HFS volume that you previously mounted with hmount. gone. forgotten. not in the list anymore. bye bestie 💖

now, how do you tell it which volume to forget? you've got options, queen:

• you can use the volume's name
• or you can use the UNIX path to the volume

either one works. pick your fighter. 💅

and if you give it no name and no path at all? it just assumes you mean the current volume. she's intuitive like that. main character energy fr fr.

📝 NOTES 📝

ngl, it is not strictly necessary to use this command. like, nobody's gonna come for you if you don't. it's optional, it's chill, it's lowkey.

also important: it does not affect any physical volumes. zero. nada. your actual disks are untouched, safe, unbothered, moisturized. 🧖

what it does do is update the file named .hcwd in your home directory — that's the file that keeps track of the currently known HFS volumes. so it's a bookkeeping situation. a little admin slay. 📋✨

tl;dr — this command is cosmetic for your volume list only. no physical volume is harmed in the making of this forgetfulness. 🦋
