nfsconf - Query various NFS configuration settings
Contents
Description
The nfsconf command can be used to test for and retrieve configuration settings from a range of nfs-utils
configuration files.
Modes
The following modes are available:
-d,--dump
Output an alphabetically sorted dump of the current configuration in conf file format. Accepts an
optional filename in which to write the output.
-e,--entry
retrieve the config entry rather than its current expanded value
-i,--isset
Test if a specific tag has a value set.
-g,--get
Output the current value of the specified tag.
-s,--set
Update or Add a tag and value to the config file in a specified section, creating the tag,
section, and file if necessary. If the section is defined as '#' then a comment is appended to the
file. If a comment is set with a tag name then any exiting tagged comment with a matching name is
replaced.
-u,--unset
Remove the specified tag and its value from the config file.
Examples
nfsconf-v--dump--file/tmp/testconf.confsorted.conf
Check a new config file for syntax errors and output a sorted version for ease of comparison with
existing settings.
if!nfsconf--issetgssdpreferred-realm;thenecho'Nopreferredrealmconfiguredforgss';fi
The tool allows for easy testing of configuration values from shell scripts, here we test if a
specific value has been set.
nfsconf--file/etc/nfsmount.conf--get--arg/homeMountPointbackground
Show default value for background option for NFS mounts of the /home path.
nfsconf--file/etc/nfs.conf--setnfsddebug1

Exit Status
--isset mode
In this mode the command will return success (0) if the selected tag has a value, any other exit code
indicates the value is not set, or some other error has occurred.
allothermodes
Success is indicated by an exit status of zero, any other status indicates an error. Error messages are
output on stderr, and increasing verbosity will give more detailed explanations if any are available.
