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

SYNOPSIS
      share [-F fstype] [-o specific_options] [-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.
