| .TH SHOWMOUNT 8 "6 October 1993" |
| .SH NAME |
| showmount \- show mount information for an NFS server |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B showmount |
| .B "[\ \-adehv\ ]" |
| .B "[\ \-\-all\ ]" |
| .B "[\ \-\-directories\ ]" |
| .B "[\ \-\-exports\ ]" |
| .B "[\ \-\-help\ ]" |
| .B "[\ \-\-version\ ]" |
| .B "[\ host\ ]" |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B showmount |
| queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about |
| the state of the NFS server on that machine. With no options |
| .B showmount |
| lists the set of clients who are mounting from that host. |
| The output from |
| .B showmount |
| is designed to |
| appear as though it were processed through ``sort \-u''. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| .BR \-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 |
| .BR rpc.mountd (8). |
| .TP |
| .BR \-d " or " \-\-directories |
| List only the directories mounted by some client. |
| .TP |
| .BR \-e " or " \-\-exports |
| Show the NFS server's export list. |
| .TP |
| .BR \-h " or " \-\-help |
| Provide a short help summary. |
| .TP |
| .BR \-v " or " \-\-version |
| Report the current version number of the program. |
| .TP |
| .B \-\-no\-headers |
| Suppress the descriptive headings from the output. |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
| .BR rpc.mountd (8), |
| .BR rpc.nfsd (8) |
| .SH BUGS |
| The completeness and accuracy of the information that |
| .B showmount |
| displays varies according to the NFS server's implementation. |
| .P |
| Because |
| .B 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. |
