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.
