NAME
       mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS
       mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]

DESCRIPTION
       mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.

       mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used
       as a standalone command with limited functionality.

       mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system, while mount.nfs is used to mount NFS file systems  versions  3  or  2.
       remotetarget  is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share.  dir is the directory on which the file
       system is to be mounted.


OPTIONS
       -r     Mount file system readonly.

       -v     Be verbose.

       -V     Print version.

       -w     Mount file system read-write.

       -f     Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.

       -n     Do not update /etc/mtab.  By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted  file  system.  Use  this
              option to skip making an entry.

       -s     Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.

       -h     Print help message.
