+.SH NAME
+mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 \- mount a Network File System
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BI "mount.nfs" " remotetarget dir" " [\-rvVwfnsh ] [\-o " options "]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR mount.nfs
+is a part of
+.BR nfs (5)
+utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.
+
+.BR mount.nfs
+is meant to be used by the
+.BR mount (8)
+command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality.
+
+.I remotetarget
+is a server share usually in the form of
+.BR servername:/path/to/share.
+.I dir
+is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted.
+
+Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions,
+.BR mount.nfs
+can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions,
+.BR mount.nfs4
+must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while
+.BR mount.nfs
+must be used for NFSv3.
