   NAME
         nfsd - NFS daemon

   SYNOPSIS
         nfsd [ -a ] [ -p protocol ] [ -t device ] [ nservers ]

   DESCRIPTION
         nfsd starts the daemons that handle client file system requests.

         The following options are recognized:

         -a                  start nfsd's over all available connectionless
                             transports

         -p protocol         start nfsd's over the specified protocol

         -t device           start nfsd's for the transport specified by the
                             given device

         nservers is the number of file system request daemons to start.  This
         number should be based on the load expected on this server.  Four is
         the usual number of nservers.

         The nfsd daemons are automatically invoked in run level 3.
