NAME

nfssvc, async_daemon − NFS daemons (NFS only)

SYNOPSIS

nfssvc(sock)
int sock;

async_daemon()

DESCRIPTION

Nfssvc starts an NFS daemon listening on socket sock. The socket must be AF_INET, and SOCK_DGRAM (protocol UDP/IP). The system call will return 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. 

NOTE

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