showmount(8)

NAME

   showmount - show mount information for an NFS server

SYNOPSIS

   showmount    [ -adehv ]   [ --all ]   [ --directories ]   [ --exports ]
   [ --help ] [ --version ] [ host ]

DESCRIPTION

   showmount queries the mount daemon on a  remote  host  for  information
   about  the  state  of  the NFS server on that machine.  With no options
   showmount lists the set of clients who are  mounting  from  that  host.
   The  output  from  showmount  is  designed  to appear as though it were
   processed through ``sort -u''.

OPTIONS

   -a or --all
          List  both  the  client  hostname  or  IP  address  and  mounted
          directory in host:dir format. This info should not be considered
          reliable. See the notes on rmtab in rpc.mountd(8).

   -d or --directories
          List only the directories mounted by some client.

   -e or --exports
          Show the NFS server's export list.

   -h or --help
          Provide a short help summary.

   -v or --version
          Report the current version number of the program.

   --no-headers
          Suppress the descriptive headings from the output.

BUGS

   The  completeness  and  accuracy  of  the  information  that  showmount
   displays varies according to the NFS server's implementation.

   Because  showmount  sorts  and  uniqs  the  output, it is impossible to
   determine from the  output  whether  a  client  is  mounting  the  same
   directory more than once.
