NAME

nfssvc, async_daemon − NFS daemons

SYNOPSIS

int nfssvc(sock)
int sock;

async_daemon()

DESCRIPTION

Nfssvc starts an NFS daemon listening on the socket sock. The socket must be AF_INET and SOCK_DGRAM (protocol UDP/IP). The system call returns only if the process is killed.

Async_daemon implements the NFS daemon that handles asynchronous I/O for an NFS client.  The system call never returns. 

ERRORS

Nfssvc fails if one of the following conditions is true; errno will be set accordingly. 

[EBADF] Sock is not a valid socket descriptor. 

[EINVAL] Sock refers to a socket that is not an AF_INET and SOCK_DGRAM socket. 

Async_daemon fails if the following condition is true; errno will be set accordingly. 

[ENOMEM] There are not enough resources to create the process. 

WARNINGS

This call should be used only by HP supplied commands and is not recommended for use by non-HP supplied programs. 

These two system calls allow kernel processes to have user context.
