Sh DESCRIPTION
Nm
runs on a server machine to service
Tn NFS

At least one
Nm
must be running for a machine to operate as a server.

Pp
The following options are available:
Bl -tag -width Ds
It Fl d
Turn on debugging, don't fork and log to stderr.
It Fl r
Register the
Tn NFS
service with
Xr rpcbind 8
without creating any servers.
This option can be used along with the
Fl u
or
Fl t
options to re-register NFS if the portmap server is restarted.
It Fl n
Specifies how many server threads to create.
The default is 4.
A server should run enough threads to handle
the maximum level of concurrency from its clients.
It Fl 4
Only listen to IPv4 requests.
By default
Nm
listens to both IPv6 and IPv4 and tries to register for both.
It Fl 6
Only listen to IPv6 requests.
It Fl t
Serve only
Tn TCP NFS
clients.
By default
Nm
serves both
Tn TCP NFS
and
Tn UDP NFS
clients
It Fl u
