NAME

nfsservctl - 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 It has been replaced by a set of files in the nfsd filesystem; see nfsd(7).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[aq]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).  */ struct nfsctl_arg {
    int                       ca_version;     /* safeguard */
    union {
        struct nfsctl_svc     u_svc;
        struct nfsctl_client  u_client;
        struct nfsctl_export  u_export;
        struct nfsctl_uidmap  u_umap;
        struct nfsctl_fhparm  u_getfh;
        unsigned int          u_debug;
    } u; } union nfsctl_res {
        struct knfs_fh          cr_getfh;
        unsigned int            cr_debug; };
