.SH NAME
share \- make local resource available for mounting by remote systems
.SH SYNOPSIS

\fBshare\fR [\fB-p\fR] [\fB-F\fR \fIFSType\fR] [\fB-o\fR \fIspecific_options\fR] [\fB-d\fR \fIdescription\fR]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBshare\fR command exports, or makes a resource available for mounting,
through a remote file system of type \fIFSType\fR. If the option \fB-F\fR
\fIFSType\fR is omitted, the first file system type listed in
\fB/etc/dfs/fstypes\fR is used as default. For a description of NFS specific
options, see \fBshare_nfs\fR(1M). \fIpathname\fR is the pathname of the
directory to be shared. When invoked with no arguments, \fBshare\fR displays
all shared file systems.

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

.SH NOTES
.sp
.LP
Export (old terminology): file system sharing used to be called exporting on
SunOS 4.x, so the \fBshare\fR command used to be invoked as \fBexportfs\fR(1B)
or \fB/usr/sbin/exportfs\fR.
.sp
.LP
If \fBshare\fR commands are invoked multiple times on the same filesystem, the
last \fBshare\fR invocation supersedes the previous\(emthe options set by the
last \fBshare\fR command replace the old options. For example, if read-write
permission was given to \fBusera\fR on \fB/somefs\fR, then to give read-write
permission also to \fBuserb\fR on \fB/somefs\fR:
.sp
.LP
\fBexample% share -F nfs -o rw=usera:userb /somefs\fR
.sp
.LP
This behavior is not limited to sharing the root filesystem, but applies to all
filesystems.
