umount -- Command

Unmount file system
/etc/umount special

umount unmounts a file system  special that was previously mounted with the
mount command.

The   script  /bin/umount  calls   /etc/umount,  and   provides  convenient
abbreviations for commonly used devices.  For example, typing

    umount f0

executes the command

    /etc/umount /dev/fha0

The system  administrator should  edit this  script to reflect  the devices
used on your specific system.
