NAME
       showmount - show mount information for an NFS server

SYNOPSIS
       /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
       cessed through sort -u.

OPTIONS
       -a or --all
	      List both the client hostname and mounted directory in  host:dir
	      format.

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

       -e or --exports
	      Show the NFS servers 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.

SEE ALSO
       rpc.mountd(8), rpc.nfsd(8)

BUGS
       The  completeness  and  accuracy of the information that showmount dis
       plays varies according to the NFS servers 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.
