NFSSVC(2) — UNIX Programmer’s Manual
NAME
nfssvc, async_daemon − NFS daemons
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.
BUGS
These two system calls allow kernel processes to have user context.
