SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME
showmount - show mount information for an NFS server

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.
