NAME

       nfssvc - Creates a remote NFS server

SYNOPSIS

       nfssvc(
	       unsigned long udp_so,
	       unsigned long udp_num,
	       unsigned long tcp_so,
	       unsigned long tcp_num);

PARAMETERS

       Specifies a UDP socket bound to port 2049.  Specifies the number of UDP NFS server threads to start (in the low 32 bits) and 950410 (in the
       high 32 bits).  Specifies a TCP socket bound to port 2049 after a call to listen(2).  Specifies the number of TCP  NFS  server  threads	to
       start.

DESCRIPTION

       The  use  of the nfssvc() function is not supported in customer applications, and the interface is subject to change without notice.  It is
       intended for use solely by nfsd(8).

       The nfssvc() function starts NFS server kernel threads and provides TCP connection support.  If the value of the upper 32 bits  of  udp_num
       is not 950410, TCP threads are not started.

RETURN VALUES

       The  nfssvc() function has no successful return.  In fact, it frees the text and data segments associated with the calling program so there
       is nothing to return to.  When interrupted by a KILL signal, the server threads are terminated and the process exits.  If nfssvc()  encoun-
       ters errors, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       If  the	nfssvc()  function  fails,  errno may be set to one of the following values: Another process is executing nfssvc.  An invalid file
       descriptor has been passed to the nfssvc() function.  More than 128 server and netisr threads were requested.  The caller is not the  supe-
       ruser.
