SHOWMOUNT (8)

SYNOPSIS

/usr/sbin/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 processesed through ``sort -u''.

OPTIONS

-a or --all

List both the client hostname and mounted directory in host:dir format.

-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.

SEE ALSO

rpc mountd(8) rpc nfsd(8)

BUGS

The completeness and accurary 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.
