Unhappy what exactly does this line of data mean for linux output

I used the mount command and now I have data which shows the following line of information:

sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/ rpc-pipfs type binfmt_misc (rw)

what does that all stand for?

thanks

You should always include the name of the distribution and the version of the distribution that you are using when you ask a question.

sunrpc means Sun Microsystems Remote Procedure Call

/var/lib/nfs/rpc-pipfs is the mount point

binfmt_misc is the data format

(rw) means that it is available for read and write access
