Why and why in C?

Since the advent of more and more pseudo-file systems (and systemd) the output of mount became confusing and the information important for everyday life was difficult to read out.

And yes, the implementation would be much simpler in most other programming and scripting languages, the only real reason for the choice is "because I can and want to do it so".
