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 processed through sort -u.
OPTIONS
Tag
Description
-a or --all
List both the client hostname or IP address and mounted directory 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 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.
The completeness and accuracy of the information that
showmount displays 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 directory more than once.
