  NAME

    showmount - Shows all remote mounts

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/showmount [-a] [-d] [-e] [host]

  FLAGS

    -d   Lists directories remotely mounted by clients.

    -a   Displays all remote mounts in the format

         hostname:directory

         where hostname is the name of the client and directory is the root of
         the mounted file system.

    -e   Displays the list of exported file systems.

  DESCRIPTION

    The showmount command lists all clients that have remotely mounted a file
    system from host.  This information is maintained by the mountd server on
    host and is saved across crashes in the file /etc/rmtab.  The default
    value for host is the nodename returned by uname(1).

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To display the names of all remotely mounted directories:

        showmount -a


    2.  To list all directories mounted by NFS clients from server xxx:

        showmount -d xxx


    3.  To list all file systems exported by server xxx:

        showmount -e xxx


  FILES

    /etc/rmtab   Database of mounted directories and clients.
