DESCRIPTION

12       mount.nfs  is  a  part  of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS
13       client functionality.
14
15       mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting  NFS
16       shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone com‐
17       mand with limited functionality.
18
19       mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system, while  mount.nfs  is
20       used  to  mount  NFS  file  systems versions 3 or 2.  remotetarget is a
21       server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share.  dir  is
22       the directory on which the file system is to be mounted.
