nfsservctl - Man Page

syscall interface to kernel nfs daemon

Library

Standard C library (libc, -lc)

Synopsis

#include <linux/nfsd/syscall.h>

long nfsservctl(int cmd, struct nfsctl_arg *argp,
                union nfsctl_res *resp);

Description

Note: Since Linux 3.1, this system call no longer exists. It has been replaced by a set of files in the nfsd filesystem; see nfsd(7).

/*
 * These are the commands understood by nfsctl().
 */
#define NFSCTL_SVC        0  /* This is a server process. */
#define NFSCTL_ADDCLIENT  1  /* Add an NFS client. */
#define NFSCTL_DELCLIENT  2  /* Remove an NFS client. */
#define NFSCTL_EXPORT     3  /* Export a filesystem. */
#define NFSCTL_UNEXPORT   4  /* Unexport a filesystem. */
#define NFSCTL_UGIDUPDATE 5  /* Update a client's UID/GID map
                                (only in Linux 2.4.x and earlier). */
#define NFSCTL_GETFH      6  /* Get a file handle (used by mountd(8))
                                (only in Linux 2.4.x and earlier). */
