43.Nm nfsd
44.Op Fl rut
45.Op Fl n Ar num_servers
46.Sh DESCRIPTION
47.Nm Nfsd
48runs on a server machine to service
49.Tn NFS
50requests from client machines.
51At least one
52.Nm nfsd
53must be running for a machine to operate as a server.
54.Pp
55Unless otherwise specified, four servers for
56.Tn UDP
57transport are started.
58.Pp
59The following options are available:
60.Bl -tag -width Ds
61.It Fl r
62Register the
63.Tn NFS
64service with
65.Xr portmap 8
66without creating any servers.
67This option can be used along with the
68.Fl u
69or
70.Fl t
71options to re-register NFS if the portmap server is restarted.
72.It Fl n
73Specifies how many servers to create.
74.It Fl t
75Serve
76.Tn TCP NFS
77clients.
78.It Fl u
79Serve
80.Tn UDP NFS
81clients.
82.El
83.Pp
84For example,
85.Dq Li "nfsd -u -t 6"
86serves
87.Tn UDP
88and
89.Tn TCP
90transports using six daemons.
91.Pp
92A server should run enough daemons to handle
93the maximum level of concurrency from its clients,
94typically four to six.
95.Pp
96.Nm Nfsd
97listens for service requests at the port indicated in the
98.Tn NFS
99server specification; see
100.%T "Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
101RFC1094 and
102.%T "NFS: Network File System Version 3 Protocol Specification" .
103.Pp
104The
105.Nm nfsd
106utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

114.Nm nfsd
115utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
