### Description

/etc/exports contains lines associating a directory with one or more hosts, and NFS options for each host.

### Usage Example

>     $ augtool
>     augtool> ls /files/etc/exports/
>     comment[1] = /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
>     comment[2] = to NFS clients.  See exports(5).
>     comment[3] = sample /etc/exports file
>     dir[1]/ = /
>     dir[2]/ = /projects
>     dir[3]/ = /usr
>     dir[4]/ = /home/joe

>     augtool> ls /files/etc/exports/dir[1]
>     client[1]/ = master
>     client[2]/ = trusty

#### The corresponding line in the file is

>     /               master(rw) trusty(rw,no_root_squash)

#### Digging further

>     augtool> ls /files/etc/exports/dir[1]/client[1]
>     option = rw

>     To add a new entry, you'd do something like this:

>     augtool> set /files/etc/exports/dir[10000] /foo
>     augtool> set /files/etc/exports/dir[last()]/client[1] weeble
>     augtool> set /files/etc/exports/dir[last()]/client[1]/option[1] ro
>     augtool> set /files/etc/exports/dir[last()]/client[1]/option[2] all_squash
>     augtool> save
>     Saved 1 file(s)

#### Which creates the line

>     /foo weeble(ro,all_squash)

### Limitations

This lens cannot handle options without a host, as with the last example line in “man 5 exports”:

/pub (ro,insecure,all_squash)

#### In this case, though, you can just do

/pub *(ro,insecure,all_squash)

It also can’t handle whitespace before the directory name.
