dfshares(1M)                                                   dfshares(1M)

NAME
     dfshares - list available resources from remote or local systems

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

DESCRIPTION
     dfshares provides information about resources available to the host
     via NFS.

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

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

          RESOURCE SERVER ACCESS TRANSPORT

     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 permis-
                  sions, a hyphen (-) is displayed. This is the case with
                  NFS resources.

     TRANSPORT    Specifies the transport provider over which the resource
                  is shared. This field remains empty for NFS resources.

     A field may be null. Each null field is indicated by a hyphen.

NOTES
     Although two variants of the dfshares command exist in the operating
     system, i.e. as a DFS command (generic layer of commands for distri-
     buted file systems) and as an NFS command, it will only be documented
     once to avoid confusion: However, NFS is the only distributed file
     system available in Reliant UNIX.

     Nevertheless, when dfshares is called, the DFS dfshares command is
     executed first for compatibility reasons, which then in turn executes
     the NFS dfshares command described here. The DFS dfshares command can
     also interpret the -F fstype option and -o fs-options. However, only
     nfs can be specified for fstype. -o fs-options causes an error,
     because the NFS dfshares command has no NFS-specific options.
