48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49.Nm Showmount
50shows status information about the
51.Tn NFS
52server on
53.Ar host .
54By default it prints the names of all hosts that have
55.Tn NFS
56file systems mounted
57on the host.

59.%T "NFS: Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
60RFC 1094,
61Appendix A,
62and
63.%T "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification" ,

84.Xr mountd 8 ,
85.Sh BUGS
86The mount daemon running on the server only has an idea of the actual mounts,
87since the
88.Tn NFS
89server is stateless.
90.Nm Showmount
91will only display the information
92as accurately as the mount daemon reports it.
