NAME
       showmount - show mount information for an NFS server

SYNOPSIS
       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 processed through ``sort -u''.

OPTIONS
       -a or --all
              List both the client hostname or IP address and mounted directory in host:dir format. This info should not be con-
              sidered 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 server's 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 displays varies according to the NFS server's implementa-
       tion.

       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.
