To create a share point:

$ sharing -a path [-n customname] [-A afpname] [-F ftpname]

[-S smbname] [-s shareflags] [-g guestflags] [-i inheritflags]

[-c creationmask] [-d directorymask] [-o oplockflag]

[-t strictlockingflag]

Parameter	Description
path	The full path to the directory you want to share.
customname	The name of the share point. If you don’t specify this custom name,
	it’s set to the name of the directory, the last name in path.

	is separate from the share point name.
ftpname	The share point name shown to and used by FTP clients.
smbname	The share point name shown to and used by SMB clients.

	share the directory. The digits represent, from left to right, AFP, FTP,
	and SMB. 1=shared, 0=not shared.
guestflags	A group of three flags indicating which protocols allow guest
	access. The flags are written as a three-digit binary number with
	the digits representing, from left to right, AFP, FTP, and SMB.
	1=guests allowed, 0=guests not allowed.
inheritflags	A group of two flags indicating whether new items in AFP or SMB
	share points inherit the ownership and access permissions of the
	parent folder. The flags are written as a two-digit binary number
	with the digits representing, from left to right, AFP and SMB.
	1=inherit, 0=don’t inherit.
creationmask	The SMB creation mask. Default=0644.
directorymask	The SMB directory mask. Default=0755.
oplockflag	Specifies whether opportunistic locking is allowed for an SMB
	share point. 1=enable oplocks, 0=disable oplocks. For more
	information on oplocks, see the file services administration guide.
strictlockingflag	Specifies whether strict locking is used on an SMB share point.
	1=enable strict locking, 0=disable. For more information on strict
	locking, see the file services administration guide.
