async_daemon(2)						       async_daemon(2)

NAME
       async_daemon - Create a local NFS asynchronous I/O server

SYNOPSIS

       async_daemon(
	       unsigned long iod_num,
	       unsigned long magic );

PARAMETERS
       Specifies  the  number  of I/O threads to run.  For Tru64 UNIX, this is
       950410. If a different value is used, seven NFS I/O threads are run.

DESCRIPTION
       The use of the async_daemon() function is  not  supported  in  customer
       applications,  and  the	interface is subject to change without notice.
       It is intended for use solely by nfsiod(8).

       The async_daemon() function starts iod_num NFS I/O kernel threads  that
       are used to improve NFS I/O performance.	 This function does not return
       to the caller, but remains in the kernel to provide additional  support
       for NFS over TCP.

RETURN VALUES
       The  async_daemon()  function  has  no  successful return.  In fact, it
       frees the text and data segments associated with the calling program so
       there  is  nothing to return to. When interrupted by a KILL signal, the
       I/O threads are terminated and the process exits. If the async_daemon()
       function encounters errors, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate
       the error.

ERRORS
       If the async_daemon() function fails, errno is set to one of  the  fol‐
       lowing  values:	The async_daemon() function has already been called by
       another process.	 The caller is not the superuser.  More	 than  64  I/O
       threads were requested.	The kernel memory allocator has no memory.
