5.2.5 Procedure 5: EXPORT - Return export list

SYNOPSIS

      exports MOUNTPROC3_EXPORT(void) = 5;

      typedef struct groupnode *groups;

      struct groupnode {
           name     gr_name;
           groups   gr_next;
      };

      typedef struct exportnode *exports;

      struct exportnode {
           dirpath  ex_dir;
           groups   ex_groups;
           exports  ex_next;
      };

DESCRIPTION

Procedure EXPORT returns a list of all the exported file systems and which clients are allowed to mount each one. The names in the group list are implementation-specific and cannot be directly interpreted by clients. These names can represent hosts or groups of hosts.

IMPLEMENTATION

This procedure generally returns the contents of a list of shared or exported file systems. These are the file systems which are made available to NFS version 3 protocol clients.

ERRORS

There are no MOUNT protocol errors which can be returned from this procedure. However, RPC errors may be returned for authentication or other RPC failures.
