dfshares(1M)

dfshares -- list available resources from remote or local systems

Synopsis

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

Description

The generic dfshares command provides information about resources available to the host through a distributed filesystem of type fstype.

dfshares prints a header line, followed by a list of lines containing whitespace-separated fields.

For each resource, the fields are:

   resource server access transport description

where

resource: Specifies the resource name that must be given to the mount(1M) 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.
description: Describes the resource. This field is not printed for all filesystem types.

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 this case, it may be omitted.

Options

The following options are available to the dfshares command:

-F: Specifies the filesystem type. If this option is not specified, the first filesystem type listed in the /etc/dfs/fstypes file is used.
-h: Suppress the header line in the output of dfshares.
-o specific_options: Depends upon the distributed filesystem (fstype) being used. For a list of specific_options, refer to the documentation on the filesystem type being used.
server: Specifies a server whose available resources are to be listed.

If dfshares is entered without arguments, all resources currently shared on the local system, along with resources that are available for mounting, are displayed, regardless of filesystem type.
