47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48.Nm Showmount
49shows status information about the
50.Tn NFS
51server on
52.Ar host .
53By default it prints the names of all hosts that have
54.Tn NFS
55file systems mounted
56on the host. See
57.%T "NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
58RFC 1094,
59Appendix A,
60and
61.%T "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification" ,

80.Xr mount 8 ,
81.Xr mountd 8
82.Sh BUGS
83The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts,
84since the
85.Tn NFS
86server is stateless.
87.Nm Showmount
88will only display the information
89as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.
90.Sh HISTORY
91The
92.Nm showmount
93utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
