dfshares(1M)                       (DFS)                       dfshares(1M)


   NAME
         dfshares - list available resources from remote or local systems

   SYNOPSIS
         dfshares [-F fstype] [-h] [-o specific_options] [server ...]

   DESCRIPTION
         dfshares provides information about resources available to the host
         through a distributed file system of type fstype.  Specific_options
         as well as the semantics of server are specific to particular
         distributed file systems.

         If dfshares is entered without arguments, all resources currently
         shared on the local system are displayed, regardless of file system
         type.

         The output of dfshares consists of an optional header line
         (suppressed with the -h flag) followed by a list of lines containing
         whitespace-separated fields.  For each resource, the fields are:

                 resource server access transport description ...
         where

              resource       Specifies the resource name that must be given to
                             the mount(1M) command.

              server         Specifies the name of the system that is making
                             the resource available.

              access         Specifies the access permissions granted to the
                             client systems, either ro (for read-only) or rw
                             (for read/write).  If dfshares cannot determine
                             access permissions, a hyphen (-) is displayed.

              transport      Specifies the transport provider over which the
                             resource is shared.

              description    Describes the resource.

         A field may be null. Each null field is indicated by a hyphen (-)
         unless the remainder of the fields on the line are also null.  In
         this case, it may be omitted.
