   NAME
         share - make local resource available for mounting by remote systems

   SYNOPSIS
         share [-F fstype] [-o access_spec] [-d description] [pathname
         [resourcename]]

   DESCRIPTION
         The share command makes a resource available for mounting through a
         remote file system of type fstype.  If the option -F fstype is
         omitted, the first file system type listed in file /etc/dfs/fstypes
         will be used as the default.  Specific_options as well as the
         semantics of resourcename are specific to particular distributed file
         systems.  When invoked with only a file system type, share displays
         all resources shared by the given file system to the local system.
         When invoked with no arguments, share displays all resources shared
         by the local system.

         The access_spec is used to control access of the shared resource.  It
         may be one of the following:

              rw             pathname is shared read/write to all clients.
                             This is also the default behavior.

              rw=client[:client]...
                             pathname is shared read/write only to the listed
                             clients.  No other systems can access
                             resourcename.

              ro             pathname is shared read-only to all clients.

              ro=client[:client]...
                             pathname is shared read-only only to the listed
                             clients. No other systems can access pathname.

         The -d flag may be used to provide a description of the resource
         being shared.
