+Exports the given pools from the system.
+All devices are marked as exported, but are still considered in use by other
+subsystems.
+The devices can be moved between systems
+.Pq even those of different endianness
+and imported as long as a sufficient number of devices are present.
+.Pp
+Before exporting the pool, all datasets within the pool are unmounted.
+A pool can not be exported if it has a shared spare that is currently being
+used.
+.Pp
+For pools to be portable, you must give the
+.Nm
+command whole disks, not just partitions, so that ZFS can label the disks with
+portable EFI labels.
+Otherwise, disk drivers on platforms of different endianness will not recognize
+the disks.
+.Bl -tag -width Ds

+This command will forcefully export the pool even if it has a shared spare that
+is currently being used.
+This may lead to potential data corruption.
