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 socket is invalid. 

async_daemon() implements the NFS daemon that handles asynchronous I/O for an NFS client.  This system call never returns. 

Both system calls result in kernel-only processes with user memory discarded. 

SEE ALSO

mountd(8C)

BUGS

There should be a way to dynamically create kernel-only processes instead of having to make system calls from userland to simulate this.
