The /etc/exports file defines what filesystems you want nfs to share. It's pretty much the central config file for an nfs server. Yet the nfsd(8) man page doesn't even mention its existence. If you just installed nfs for the first time and want to share something, the natural man page to look up doesn't tell you anything at all that's useful. Oddly enough, the nfs(8) man page, which deals only with the nfs client, does list exports(5) in the "see also" section. At the very least nfsd(8) should list that file there as well. In my opinion, it would ideally also have a sentence in the body of the man page that says "The filesystems to be exported are defined in /etc/exports; see exports(5)."

FYI, docs-team has nothing to do with man pages
