Yes, you fix makes sense.
instead of: "but stores the struct mount in the provided *mntbuf" (I don't understand what "the struct mount" refers to)
I guess the writer of the page had the word mount in mind, since 'mntent' is short for mount entry, and accidentally wrote that.
I used a wording slightly different to the one you propose, to be consistent with the style present in many pages where we say things like 'mntent structure' instead of 'struct mntent' or 'mntent struct'. See the patch I applied below.
Cheers,
