NAME
     nsmount - mount name service filesystem

SYNOPSIS
     nsmount [-vx][-d mountpoint] [-i pid] [-o options] -p port

DESCRIPTION
     nsmount attaches the filesystem provided by the nsd(1M) daemon.  Nsd
     satisfies the requests using directory service protocols and caches them
     in memory then provides the data as a filesystem using the nfs(4)
     protocol.	There may be no actual remote filesystem containing the data.
     This command is executed directly by the nsd daemon so there is rarely
     any need for it to be run separately.

OPTIONS
     -d mountpoint
	       Uses the given local directory as the mountpoint for the
	       filesystem.  The default is /ns.	 The name service API routines
	       ns_lookup(3C) and ns_list(3C) expect there to be a /ns
	       filesystem mounted which provides any remote name service data,
	       so changing the mountpoint should be done with care.

	       The mountpoint is marked as being of type nsd to prevent
	       inadvertent unmounting of NSD filesystem with the rest of nfs
	       mounts.

     -i pid    This is the process ID of the nsd process supplying the data.
	       Nsmount will register an exitop for this process which marks
	       this mount as stale if the nsd daemon should die.  Any requests
	       subsequently made to this filesystem will timeout immediately.
	       The pid defaults to the parent process ID.

     -p port   This specifies the port on which nsd is listening on the local
	       host.  This is logged with syslogd(1M) as part of the nsd
	       process startup.

     -v	       This option enables verbose mode.

     -x	       This option specifies that the SGI extended attribute protocol
	       should be supported.  This makes nsd extended attributes
	       available using the attr command.

     -o options
	       NFS-like options to control parameters of nfs(4) protocol used
	       to communicate with nsd(1M).
