SHOWMOUNT(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual SHOWMOUNT(8)
NAME
showmount - show remote nfs mounts on host
SYNOPSIS
showmount [-a | -d] [-E] [-e] [-1] [-3] [host]
DESCRIPTION
The showmount utility 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.
The following options are available:
-a, --all
List all mount points in the form:
host:dirpath.
-d, --directories
List directory paths of mount points instead of hosts.
-E, --exports-script
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, --exports
Show the host's exports list.
-1 Use mount protocol Version 1, compatible with legacy servers.
-3 Ignored for backwards compatibility.

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. The showmount utility will
only display the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports
it.
