dfshares(1M_NFS)               (NFS)                dfshares(1M_NFS)


       NAME
             dfshares - list available NFS resources from remote systems

       SYNOPSIS
             dfshares [-F nfs] [-o] [-h] [server . . .]

       DESCRIPTION
             The NFS-specific dfshares command provides information about
             resources available to the host through the Network File
             System.

          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
             where

                   resource     Specifies the resource name (server:path)
                                that must be given to the mount(1M)
                                command.

                   server       Specifies the system that is making the
                                resource available.

                   access       Specifies the access permissions granted to
                                the client systems; however, dfshares
                                cannot determine this information for an
                                NFS resource and populates the field with a
                                hyphen (-).

                   transport    Specifies the transport provider over which
                                the resource is shared; however, dfshares
                                cannot determine this information for an
                                NFS resource and populates the field with a
                                hyphen (-).

          Exit Codes
             0     Successful exit

            33    Usage error

            34    RPC error

            35    No exports list

            36    gethostname (uname) failed

      USAGE
            The following options are available to the dfshares command:

            -F    Specifies the File System Type (FSType).  This option
                  may be omitted if NFS is the only file system type
                  listed in the /etc/dfs/fstypes file.

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

            -o    Use only udp to gather dfshares information.  This
                  option will decrease the time it takes the command to
                  return if a host is down.  The default is to try to get
                  the dfshares information over tcp first.  If that fails,
                  then udp is tried.

            server
                  Any system on the network that has made resources
                  available to your machine.  If no server is specified,
                  then server is assumed to be the local system.  More
                  than one server can be specified with dfshares

            dfshares without arguments displays all of the NFS resources
            shared on the local system.
