nfssvc(2)
NAME
  nfssvc - Create a remote NFS server

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

PARAMETERS
  udp_so
      Specifies a UDP socket bound to port 2049.

  udp_num
      Specifies the number of UDP NFS server threads to start (in the low 32
      bits) and 950410 (in the high 32 bits).

  tcp_so
      Specifies a TCP socket bound to port 2049 after a call to listen(2).

  tcp_num
      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() encounters 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:

  [EADDRINUSE]
      Another process is executing nfssvc.

  [EBADF]
      An invalid file descriptor has been passed to the nfssvc() function.

  [EINVAL]
      More than 128 server and netisr threads were requested.

  [EPERM]
      The caller is not the superuser.
