       NAME
             dfshares - list available resources from remote or local
             systems

       SYNOPSIS
             dfshares [-F fstype] [-h] [-o specific_options] [server ...]

       DESCRIPTION
             The generic dfshares command provides information about
             resources available to the host through a distributed file
             system of type fstype.

          Files
             /etc/dfs/fstypes

          Output
             dfshares prints a header line, 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.  This field is not
                                printed for all file system types.

             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.

      USAGE
            The following options are available to the dfshares command:

            -F    Specifies the File System Type (fstype).  If this option
                  is not specified, the first file system type listed in
                  the /etc/dfs/fstypes file is used.

            -h    Suppress the header line in the output of dfshares.

            specific_options
                  Depends upon the distributed file system (fstype) being
                  used.  For a list of specific_options, refer to the
                  documentation on the fstype that is being used.

            If dfshares is entered without arguments, all resources
            currently shared on the local system, along with resources
            that are available for mounting, are displayed, regardless of
            file system type.
