NAME
 nfsiod -- local NFS asynchronous I/O server
SYNOPSIS
 nfsiod [-n num_servers]
DESCRIPTION
 Nfsiod runs on an NFS client machine to service asynchronous I/O requests
 to its server. It improves performance but is not required for correct
 operation.
 Unless otherwise specified, a single server is started.
 The options are as follows:
 -n Specify how many servers are to be started.
 A client should run enough daemons to handle its maximum level of concur-
 rency, typically four to six.
 If nfsiod detects that the running kernel does not include NFS support,
 it will attempt to load a loadable kernel module containing NFS code,
 using kldload(8) by way of vfsload(3). If this fails, or no NFS KLD was
 available, The nfsiod utility exits with an error.
EXIT STATUS
 The nfsiod utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
