NAME

       share - make local resource available for mounting by remote systems

SYNOPSIS

       FSType] specific_options] description] [pathname]

DESCRIPTION

       The command exports, or makes a resource available for mounting, through a remote file system of type FSType.

       If the option is omitted, the first file system type listed in is used as default.

       For a description of NFS specific options, see share_nfs(1M).

       pathname is the pathname of the directory to be shared.	When invoked with no arguments, displays all shared file systems.

   Options
       recognizes the following options:

       Specify the file system type.

       The	   specific_options are used to control access of the shared resource.	(See share_nfs(1M) for NFS specific options.)  They may be
		   any of the following:

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

		   Share the
			pathname read-mostly if option is not provided.  Read-mostly means read-write to those clients specified and read-only for
			all  other  systems.  If a option is provided, pathname is shared read/write only to the listed clients.  No other systems
			can access pathname.

		   pathname
			is shared read-only to all clients.

		   pathname
			is shared read-only only to the listed clients.  No other systems can access pathname.

       The	   flag may be used to provide a description of the resource being shared.

WARNINGS

   Old terminology (export)
       File system sharing used to be called on HP-UX, and was used for exporting file systems.   With	the  new  share  NFS  model,  the  command
       replaces exportfs(1M) or

       To  support compatiblity with scripts that still invoke the exportfs command using the access= option, the share command will not fail when
       the access option is used and the syntax matches the usage of exportfs(1M) from a release of HP-UX that does not support the share(1M) com-
       mand.  Attempts	to  use the access option with new share options, (i.e. sec=), may result in the access option begin rejected by the share
       command. It is highly recommended that the access option not be used with the share command. Instead, use the ro= and rw= option to achieve
       the desired access restrictions. This support of the access= option will be removed in a future release of HP-UX.

       If  commands  are  invoked multiple times on the same file system, the last invocation supersedes the previous; the options set by the last
       command replace the old options.  For example, if read-only permission was previously given to on use the following command  to	also  give
       read-only permission to on

       This behavior is not limited to sharing the root file system, but applies to all file systems.

EXAMPLES

       The following command wll share the file system read-only.
