NAME

nfssvc, async_daemon − NFS daemons

SYNOPSIS

int nfssvc(int sock);

void 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 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 any of the following conditions is encountered, and sets errno 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 encountered, and sets errno 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.
