Do you want to see the desired or current association ?
/etc/fstab contains the desired filesystem mounts and swaps.
There is no single file containing both mounted filesystems and active 
swaps. /proc/mounts or /proc/self/mounts contains mounted filesystems. 
/etc/mtab used to be a regular file containing similar information but 
is now a symlink to either /proc/mounts or /proc/self/mounts. 
/proc/swaps contains active swaps.

fstab and mount/df do not provide the same kind of information. mount 
and df provide information about currently mounted filesystems.
Note that df without argument hides some filesystems (proc, sysfs...) 
and bind mounts.

Note that mount without argument merely prints the contents of /proc/mounts.
