Description

dfshares provides information about resources available to the host through a distributed file system of type FSType. specific_options as well as the semantics of server are specific to particular distributed file systems.

If dfshares is entered without arguments, all resources currently shared on the local system are displayed, regardless of file system type.

The output of dfshares consists of an optional header line (suppressed with the -h flag) followed by a list of lines containing whitespace-separated fields. For each resource, the fields are:
