Finding mount()ed filesystems

[Nick]

What is the best way to determine what filesystems are mounted?
Currently I open the /etc/mtab file (via setmntent(...)) and read
each record using getmntent. Is there a more direct method?

The only other way I can think of, is to parse /proc/mounts.
It summarizes /etc/fstab only for currently mounted filesystems.
