showmount(1M)                                       showmount(1M)



NAME
     showmount - shows all remote mounts

SYNOPSIS
     showmount [-a] [-d] [-e] [host]

ARGUMENTS
     -a   Prints all remote mounts in the format:

             host-name:directory

          where host-name is the name of the client, and
          directory is the root of the file system that has been
          mounted.

     -d   Lists directories that have been remotely mounted by
          clients.

     -e   Prints the list of exported file systems.

     host Specifies a host file system from which you want a list
          of clients.

DESCRIPTION
     showmount lists all the clients that have remotely mounted a
     file system from host.  This information is maintained by
     the mountd(1M) server on host, and is saved across crashes
     in the file /etc/rmtab.  The default value for host is the
     value returned by hostname(1).

STATUS MESSAGES AND VALUES
     If the system has not exported any file systems and the file
     /etc/xtab does not exist, using the -e option causes
     showmount to display the following error message:

        cannot stat /etc/xtab: No such file or directory

     To prevent this error message, enter this command:

        touch /etc/xtab


LIMITATIONS
     If a client crashes, its entry will not be removed from the
     list until it reboots and executes umount -a.
