dfshares(1M)                  UNIX System V(RFS)                   dfshares(1M)


NAME
      dfshares - list available RFS resources from remote systems

SYNOPSIS
      dfshares [-F rfs] [-h] [server . . .]

DESCRIPTION
      dfshares provides information about resources available to the host
      through Remote File Sharing.  The -F flag may be omitted if rfs is the
      first file system type listed in the file /etc/dfs/fstypes.

      The query may be restricted to the output of resources available from one
      or more servers.  If no server is specified, all resources in the host's
      domain are displayed.  A server may be given in the following form:

            system    Specifies a system in the host's domain.

            domain.   Specifies all systems in domain.

            domain.system
                      Specifies system in domain.

      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 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 and
                      write).

            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.
