>Description:
In exports(5) it says:

"The third case is specified by the flag -network=netname and optionally
-mask=netmask. If the mask is not specified, it will default to the mask
for that network class (A, B or C; see inet(4))."

A few lines later it gives the following example:

"/a -network 192.168.0/24"

Note also the missing '='.
I've used both of these formats successfully:

"/a -network=192.168.0.0/24"
and
"/a -network=192.168.0.0 -mask=255.255.255.0"

>How-To-Repeat:
man 5 exports

>Fix:
Either remove the non-confirming examples, or add the allowed usage.
The code would seem to support the latter.
