NAME
       showmount - show mount information for an NFS server

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sbin/showmount     [ -adehv ]     [ --all ]	    [ --directories ]
       [ --exports ] [ --help ] [ --version ] [ host ]

DESCRIPTION
       showmount queries the mount daemon on a remote  host  for  information
       about  the  state  of the NFS server on that machine.  With no options
       showmount lists the set of clients who are mounting  from  that	host.
       The output from showmount is designed to appear as though it were pro-
       cessesed through ‘‘sort -u’’.

OPTIONS
       -a or --all
	      List both the client hostname or IP address and mounted  direc-
	      tory  in	host:dir  format.  This info should not be considered
	      reliable. See the notes on rmtab in rpc.mountd(8).

       -d or --directories
	      List only the directories mounted by some client.

       -e or --exports
	      Show the NFS server’s export list.

       -h or --help
	      Provide a short help summary.

       -v or --version
	      Report the current version number of the program.

       --no-headers
	      Suppress the descriptive headings from the output.

BUGS
       The completeness and accurary of the information that  showmount	 dis-
       plays varies according to the NFS server’s implementation.

       Because	showmount  sorts  and  uniqs  the output, it is impossible to
       determine from the output whether a client is mounting the same direc-
       tory more than once.
