--path [string]
Local path to the file system or any existing sub-folder of the file system that is shared over the network. This path is relative to the PowerFlex file services server and must start with the filesystem's mountpoint path, which is the filesystem name. For example to share the top-level of a filesystem named svr1fs1, which is on the /svr1fs1 mountpoint of the PowerFlex file services server, use /svr1fs1 in the path parameter. SMB shares allow you to create multiple network shares for the same local path.

The default UNIX umask for new files created on the share. If not specified the umask defaults to 022.
--session name [string]
Session name. The default name is "default".
