DESCRIPTION

The showmount command lists the clients that have mounted a file system from an
NFS server.  This information is maintained by the network daemon mountd which
runs continuously on the server.  The daemon saves this information to the file
/etc/rm tab for use if the server crashes.

The default value for the server is returned by hostname.

FLAGS

-d   Lists directories that have been remotely mounted by clients.

-a   Prints all remote mounts in the format hostname:directory.

     The hostname parameter specifies the name of the client, and directory
     specifies the root of the mounted file system.

-e   Prints the list of exported file systems.
