40.Nd NFS file locking daemon
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Nm rpc.lockd
43.Op Fl d Op Ar debug_level
44.Sh DESCRIPTION
45.Nm Rpc.lockd
46is a daemon which provides file- and record-locking services in an NFS
47environment.
48.Pp
49The following option is available:
50.Bl -tag -width indent
51.It Fl d
52Cause debugging information to be written to syslog, recording
53all RPC transactions to the daemon.  These messages are logged with level
54LOG_DEBUG and facility LOG_DAEMON.  If debug_level is not specified,
55level 1 is assumed, giving one log line per protocol operation.  Higher
56debug levels can be specified, causing display of operation arguments
57and internal operations of the daemon.
58.El
59.Pp
60Error conditions are logged to syslog, irrespective of the debug level,
61using log level LOG_ERR and facility LOG_DAEMON.
62.Pp
63The
64.Nm
65daemon must NOT be invoked by
66.Xr inetd 8
67because the protocol assumes that the daemon will run from system start time.
68Instead, it should be run from
69.Xr rc 8
70after the network has been started.
71.Sh FILES
72.Bl -tag -width /usr/include/rpcsvc/nlm_prot.x -compact

80.Sh BUGS
81The current implementation provides only the server side of the protocol
82(ie. clients running other OS types can establish locks on a
83.Bx Free
84fileserver,
85but there is currently no means for a
86.Bx Free
87client to establish locks).
88.Pp
89Versions 1, 2 and 3 of the protocol are supported.  However, only versions
902 (Unix systems) and 3 (PC-NFS clients) seem to be in common use - the version
911 support has not been tested due to the lack of version 1 clients against
92which to test.
93.Sh STANDARDS
94The implementation is based on the specification in X/Open CAE Specification
