+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nfsd
+.Nd remote
+.Tn NFS
+server
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm nfsd
+.Op Fl rut
+.Op Fl n Ar num_servers
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Nfsd
+runs on a server machine to service
+.Tn NFS
+requests from client machines.
+At least one
+.Nm nfsd
+must be running for a machine to operate as a server.
+.Pp
+Unless otherwise specified, four servers for
+.Tn UDP
+transport are started.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl r
+Register the
+.Tn NFS
+service with
+.Xr portmap 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 servers to create.
+.It Fl t
+Serve
+.Tn TCP NFS
+clients.
+.It Fl u
+Serve
+.Tn UDP NFS
+clients.
+.El
+.Pp
+For example,
+.Dq Li "nfsd -u -t 6"
+serves
+.Tn UDP
+and
+.Tn TCP
+transports using six daemons.
+.Pp
+A server should run enough daemons to handle
+the maximum level of concurrency from its clients,
+typically four to six.
+.Pp
+.Nm Nfsd
+listens for service requests at the port indicated in the
+.Tn NFS
+server specification; see
+.%T "Network File System Protocol Specification" ,
+RFC1094.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm nfsd
+utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr nfsstat 1 ,
+.Xr nfssvc 2 ,
+.Xr mountd 8 ,
+.Xr portmap 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm nfsd
+utility first appeared in 4.4BSD.
