NAME

dfshares - list available resources from remote or local systems

SYNOPSIS

dfshares [-F FSType] [-h] [-o specific_options] [server]...

DESCRIPTION

dfshares provides information about resources available to the host
through a distributed file system of type FSType. specific_options as
well as the semantics of server are specific to particular distributed
file systems.


If dfshares is entered without arguments, all resources currently shared
on the local system are displayed, regardless of file system type.


The output of dfshares consists of an optional header line (suppressed
with the -h flag) 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 that must be given to the
mount(8) command.


server
Specifies the name of the system that is making the resource
available.


access
Specifies the access permissions granted to the client
systems, either ro (for read-only) or rw (for read/write).
If dfshares cannot determine access permissions, a hyphen
(-) is displayed.


transport
Specifies the transport provider over which the resource is
shared.


A field may be null. Each null field is indicated by a hyphen (-) unless
the remainder of the fields on the line are also null; in which case, the
hyphen may be omitted.
