share(1M)                                                  share(1M)


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

       SYNOPSIS
             share [-F fstype] [-o specific_options] [-d description]
                   [pathname [resourcename]]

       DESCRIPTION
             The generic share command makes a resource available for
             mounting through a remote file system of type fstype.

          Files
             /etc/dfs/dfstab
             /etc/dfs/sharetab
             /etc/dfs/fstypes

       USAGE
             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 the particular distributed file system associated
             with the specified file system type.

             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.

             When sharing a resource, the -d flag may be used to provide a
             description of the resource being shared.  Note that, if you
             enter the -d option when you share an NFS resource, the
             description is stored in your sharetab file.  However, clients
             will not see the description displayed when they use the
             dfshares command to list the resources shared on your system.

             Only a privileged user can execute this command.
