Mount point of network shared folder

Question

Where can I find the mount point of some network shared folder. For example, I shared folder pac from MachineB. That folder can already be seen/browsed from MachineA via nautilus.

But I need is a way to browse that pac folder from command line from MachineA. How can that be done?

that command gives empty output from MachineA. From MachineA nautilus the folder was called pac on 192.168.0.123 (which is the address of MachineB) — artm, Nov 29 '16 at 03:34

Mount:

Nautilus > Go > Enter location > smb://192.168.0.123

Then can find the shared folder in /$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs (ref: EvanChen link askubuntu.com/a/33513/372607)

Specifically on my 16.04

~$ cd /$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs
//run/user/1000/gvfs$ ls
smb-share:server=192.168.0.123,share=pac

//run/user/1000/gvfs$ cd smb-share:server=192.168.0.123,share=pac
//run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=192.168.0.123,share=pac$ pwd
//run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=192.168.0.123,share=pac

Then make a softlink from home folder: $ cd ~ $ ln -s //run/user/1000/gvfs/smb-share:server=192.168.0.123,share=pac pac

Now cd pac and done, can browse the network shared folder from command line.
