nfsclnt(8)                          CLIX                          nfsclnt(8)



  NAME

    nfsclnt - Creates NFS client handles

  SYNOPSIS

    nfsclnt [nclienthandles]

  DESCRIPTION

    The nfsclnt command allocates connectionless transport endpoints used to
    create client handles.  The NFS client programs obtain a client handle for
    the duration of an RPC operation.

    The nclienthandles parameter is the number of client handles allocated.
    This number limits the number of Network File System (NFS) client
    operations that can be run concurrently, and should be based on the load
    expected on the client.  If additional client handles are required, more
    nfsclnt processes may be started.  The number of client handles available
    to NFS client programs is the sum of the number of client handles
    allocated by each nfsclnt program.  Killing an nfsclnt process reduces the
    available number of client handles by the amount that was initially
    allocated by that process.

  EXAMPLES

    To allocate four client handles, enter:

    nfsclnt 4


  FILES

    /dev/udp   UDP device node.

  DIAGNOSTICS

    nfsclnt: can't allocate space for client handles.
           This message indicates no memory is available for client handle
           data structures.

    nfsclnt: can't open the required number of transport endpoints.
           This message indicates an insufficient number of UDP devices are
           available.  This may be alleviated by increasing the parameter NUDP
           in the CLIX system configuration.

  EXIT VALUES

    The nfsclnt command exits with a value of 0 if terminated normally.  If an
    error occurs, it exits with a value of 1.
