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


SYNOPSIS
      share  [ -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
      systems.
 


OPTIONS
      -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.
 
 
      -d description
            The -d flag may be used to provide  a  description  of
            the resource being shared.
 
 EXAMPLES
      Example 1: A sample of using share command.
 
      This line will share the /disk file system read-only at boot
      time.
 
           share -F nfs -o ro /disk
 


FILES
      /etc/dfs/dfstab
            list of share commands to be executed at boot time
 
      /etc/dfs/fstypes
            list of file system types, NFS by 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  permis-
      sion 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.
