See "NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification" , RFC 1094, Appendix A, and "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification" , Appendix I, for a detailed description of the protocol.

BUGS

The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts, since the NFS server is stateless. Showmount will only display the information as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.  

HISTORY

The showmount utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
