smbmount - mount an SMB filesystem

smbmount service mountpoint [ -o options ]

smbmount mounts a SMB filesystem. It is usually invoked as mount.smbfs from the mount(8) command when using the "-t smbfs" option. The kernel must support the smbfs filesystem.

Options to smbmount are specified as a comma separated list of key=value pairs.
