showmount
queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the state
of the NFS server on that machine. With no options showmount lists the
set of clients who are mounting from that host. The output from showmount
is designed to appear as though it were processed through ‘‘sort -u’’.
- -a
or --all
- List both the client hostname or IP address and mounted directory
in host:dir format. This info should not be considered reliable. See the
notes on rmtab in rpc.mountd(8)
.
- -d or --directories
- List only the directories
mounted by some client.
- -e or --exports
- Show the NFS server’s export list.
- -h
or --help
- Provide a short help summary.
- -v or --version
- Report the current version
number of the program.
- --no-headers
- Suppress the descriptive headings from
the output.

The completeness and accuracy
of the information that showmount displays varies according to the NFS
server’s implementation.
Because showmount sorts and uniqs the output, it
is impossible to determine from the output whether a client is mounting
the same directory more than once.
