SHOWMOUNT(8)                System Manager's Manual               SHOWMOUNT(8)

NAME
     showmount - show remote NFS mounts on host

SYNOPSIS
     showmount [-adEe3] [host]

DESCRIPTION
     showmount shows status information about the NFS server on host.  By
     default it prints the names of all hosts that have NFS file systems
     mounted on the host.  See NFS: Network File System Protocol
     Specification, RFC 1094, Appendix A, and NFS: Network File System Version
     3 Protocol Specification, Appendix I, for a detailed description of the
     protocol.

     -a      List all mount points in the form:
                   host:dirpath

     -d      List directory paths of mount points instead of hosts

     -E      Show the host's exports list in a script-friendly format.  Client
             addresses and the header are not shown, and special characters
             are escaped.

     -e      Show the host's exports list

     -3      Use mount protocol Version 3, compatible with NFS Version 3.

SEE ALSO
     mount(8), mountd(8)

HISTORY
     The showmount utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.

BUGS
     The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual
     mounts, since the NFS server is stateless.  showmount will only display
     the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.
