I would humbly ask that someone, somewhere add an entry in the examples

man page (at least for me) didn't really tell me how to use the command
correctly. The program itself takes different argument types on
invocation than other mount.xxxx commands.
So suggestion:
EXAMPLES:
sudo mount -t cifs -o
user=administrator,password=miralink //192.168.1.31/test /mnt/ml_test/
With an explanation of what each option means.
What is wrong with reading "man mount.cifs"?
Hmmm...obviously, I fail at expressing my frustration with the man page
for mount.cifs.
My point was that the man page for mount.cifs didn't lead me to a
solution if I didn't already know the syntax of mount.cifs.
A simple addition of a few examples of invocation would have saved me a
ton of time.
I see. Well, if the maintainer of the man page reads this list he may add
to it. Then again, he may wonder why doing a google on "mount cifs
examples" wouldn't have also helped.
