HP CIFS Client A.01.09 Administrator's Guide, August 2003

Commandline Utilities
Chapter 554
cifsclient Stop and start the CIFS client.
cifsmount Mount a directory from a remote server.
cifslogin Authenticates you to the remote server. You may then
use any shares already mounted by other users.
cifsumount The opposite of cifsmount. It removes the local
mountpoint and disconnects it from the server if it is
not mounted somewhere else.
cifslogout The opposite of cifslogin. You cannot use any shares
from the specified server after logging out.
cifslist Lists connected servers, mountpoints, mounted shares,
etc.
mount_cifs Mounts the CIFS filesystem.
umount_cifs Unmounts the CIFS filesystem.
Each of the utilities described above also accepts the options -h and -v if
given as the only parameter. The option -h prints a short help to
standard error and the option -v prints the current version numbers to
standard output.
NOTE The sequence of arguments to the CIFS Client command-line utilities is
significant, and it is reversed from conventional UNIX commands. For
example, in:
cifslogin server -U user
the argument pair -U user must appear after the argument server.
