NAME

share_rfs − make local RFS resource available for mounting by remote systems

SYNOPSIS

share [−o specific_options] [−d description] [pathname resourcename]

DESCRIPTION

The share command makes a resource available for mounting through Remote File Sharing.  When invoked with only a file system type (or no arguments), share displays all local resources shared through Remote File Sharing. 

The specific_options are used to control client access of the shared resource.  Clients may be specified in any of the following forms:

 domain.
domain.system
system
 

OPTIONS

−o specific_options The specific_options can be one of the following:

rwresourcename is shared read/write to all clients.  This is also the default behavior. 

rw=client[:client]...
resourcename is shared read/write only to the listed clients.  No other systems can access resourcename. 

roresourcename is shared read-only to all clients. 

ro=client[:client]...
resourcename is shared read-only only to the listed clients.  No other systems can access resourcename. 

−d description The −d flag may be used to provide a description of the resource being shared. 

ERRORS

If the network is not up and running or pathname is not a full path, an error message will be sent to standard error.  If pathname isn’t on a file system mounted locally or the client is specified but syntactically incorrect, an error message will be sent to standard error.  If the same resource name in the network over the same transport provider is to be shared more than once, an error message will be sent to standard error.
