exportfs

exportfs(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands					      exportfs(1B)

NAME

       exportfs - translates exportfs options to share/unshare commands

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/exportfs [-aiuv] [-o options] [pathname]

DESCRIPTION

       exportfs  translates  SunOS  4.x  exportfs options to the corresponding share/unshare options and invokes share/unshare with the translated
       options.

       With no options or arguments, exportfs invokes share to print out the list of all currently shared NFS filesystems.

       exportfs is the BSD/Compatibility Package command of share(1M) and unshare(1M). Use  share(1M)/ unshare(1M) whenever possible.

OPTIONS

       -a	     Invokes shareall(1M), or if -u is specified, invokes unshareall(1M).

       -i	     Ignore options in /etc/dfs/dfstab.

       -u	     Invokes unshare(1M) on pathname.

       -v	     Verbose.

       -o options    Specify a comma-separated list of optional characteristics for the filesystems being exported. exportfs translates options to
		     share-equivalent options. (see share(1M) for information about individual options).
