SYNOPSIS

- -d

List directory paths of mount points instead of hosts.
- -e

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.
