NAME

share - make local resource available for mounting by remote systems

SYNOPSIS

share [-F fstype]  [-o  specific_options]  [-d  description]
[pathname [resourcename]]

DESCRIPTION

The share command makes a resource available for mounting through a remote file system of type fstype. If the option -F fstype is omitted, the first file system type listed in file /etc/dfs/fstypes will be used as the default. Specific_options as well as the semantics of resourcename are specific to particular distributed file systems. When invoked with only a file system type, share displays all resources shared by the given file system to the local system. When invoked with no arguments, share displays all resources shared by the local system. The access_spec is used to control access of the shared resource. It may be one of the following:

rw             pathname is  shared  read/write  to  all
               clients.    This  is  also  the  default
               behavior.

rw=client[:client]...

pathname is shared read/write only to the listed clients. No other systems can access resourcename.

ro pathname is shared read-only to all clients.

     ro=client[:client]...
                    pathname is shared read-only only to the
                    listed  clients.  No  other  systems can
                    access pathname.
The -d flag may be used to  provide  a  description  of  the
resource being shared.
