NAME

nfsd − NFS special file

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/fs/nfs/nfs_ioctl.h>
/dev/nfsd

DESCRIPTION

The nfsd daemon currently handles the following ioctl services for the NFS client and server processes. 

NIOCNFSD Starts an NFS daemon listening on the transport endpoint.  This call returns only if the process is killed. 

NIOCGETFH
Returns a file handle for an open file.  It is only used by the NFS mount daemon and should not be used by users. 

NIOCASYNCD
Implements the NFS daemon that handles asynchronous I/O for an NFS client.  This call returns only if the process is killed. 

NIOCSETDOMNAM
Sets the NIS domain name of the host machine. 

NIOCGETDOMNAM
Returns the name of the domain for the current processor, as previously set by NIOCSETDOMNAM.

NIOCCLNTHAND
Is used to create client handles for kernel RPC clients to use.  Currently, there are two kernel RPC clients: NFS and the lock manager. 

NIOCEXPORTFS
Is used to add and delete export entries for file systems.  exportfs exports the directory tree described by fname.  If uex is null, the directory tree described by fname is unexported.  It is only used by the NFS exportfs command and should not be utilized by users.
