NAME
       share - make local resource available for mounting by remote systems

SYNOPSIS
       share [-p] [-F FSType] [-o specific_options] [-d description]
	    [pathname]

DESCRIPTION
       The share command exports, or 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 /etc/dfs/fstypes 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, share displays all shared file sys-
       tems.

OPTIONS
       -d description

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

       -F FSType

	   Specify the filesystem type.

       -o specific_options

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

	   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.

	   Separate multiple options with commas. Separate multiple operands for an option with colons. See EXAMPLES.

       -p

	   Causes the share operation to persist across reboots.

EXAMPLES
       Example 1 Sharing a Read-Only Filesystem

       This line will share the /disk file system read-only at boot time.

	 share -F nfs -o ro /disk

       Example 2 Invoking Multiple Options

       The  following  command shares the filesystem /export/manuals, with members of the netgroup having read-only access and users on the speci-
       fied host having read-write access.

	 share -F nfs -o ro=netgroup_name,rw=host1:host2:host3 /export/manuals

FILES
       /etc/dfs/dfstab

	   List of share commands to be executed at boot time. Note that you can invoke share from a command line and use the -p option, described
	   above, as an alternative to editing this file.

       /etc/dfs/fstypes

	   List of file system types; NFS is the default.

       /etc/dfs/sharetab

	   System record of shared file systems.

NOTES
       Export  (old  terminology):  file  system  sharing  used  to  be  called exporting on SunOS 4.x, so the share command used to be invoked as
       exportfs(1B) or /usr/sbin/exportfs.

       If share commands are invoked multiple times on the same filesystem, the last share invocation supersedes the previous--the options set	by
       the  last  share  command  replace the old options. For example, if read-write permission was given to usera on /somefs, then to give read-
       write permission also to userb on /somefs:

       example% share -F nfs -o rw=usera:userb /somefs

       This behavior is not limited to sharing the root filesystem, but applies to all filesystems.
