| c6a0a7cc | 11 | nfsiod \- local NFS asynchronous I/O server |
| 567a0a12 | 12 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 6b2e4097 | 13 | .B nfsiod |
| 567a0a12 | 14 | [ |

| 17 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 18 | .I Nfsiod | |
| 8fbf001c | 19 | runs on an |
| 567a0a12 | 20 | .SM NFS |
| 8fbf001c KM |
21 | client machine to service asynchronous I/O requests to its server. |
| 22 | It improves performance but is not required for correct operation. | |
| 23 | The option | |
| 6fa63056 | 24 | .I numdaemons |
| 8fbf001c KM |
25 | defines how many |
| 26 | .I nfsiod | |
| 6fa63056 KM |
27 | daemons to start; |
| 28 | if unspecified, only a single daemon will be started. | |
| 29 | A client should typically run enough daemons to handle | |
| 567a0a12 KM |
30 | their maximum level of concurrency, |
| 31 | typically four to six. | |
