+.SH NAME
+exportd \- NFSv4 Server Mount Daemon
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.BI "/usr/sbin/exportd [" options "]"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B exportd
+is used to manage NFSv4 exports. The NFSv4 server
+receives a mount request from a client and pass it up to 
+.B exportd. 
+.B exportd 
+then uses the exports(5) export
+table to verify the validity of the mount request.
+.PP
+An NFS server maintains a table of local physical file systems
+that are accessible to NFS clients.
+Each file system in this table is referred to as an
+.IR "exported file system" ,
+or
+.IR export ,
+for short.
+.PP
+Each file system in the export table has an access control list.
+.B exportd
+uses these access control lists to determine
+whether an NFS client is permitted to access a given file system.
+For details on how to manage your NFS server's export table, see the
+.BR exports (5)
+and
+.BR exportfs (8)
+man pages.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-d kind " or " \-\-debug kind
+Turn on debugging. Valid kinds are: all, auth, call, general and parse.
+.TP
+.B \-F " or " \-\-foreground
+Run in foreground (do not daemonize)
+.TP
+.B \-h " or " \-\-help
+Display usage message.
+.SH CONFIGURATION FILE
+Many of the options that can be set on the command line can also be
+controlled through values set in the
+.B [exportd]
+or, in some cases, the
+.B [nfsd]
+sections of the
+.I /etc/nfs.conf
+configuration file.
+Values recognized in the
+.B [exportd]
+section include 
+.B debug 
+which each have the same effect as the option with the same name.
+.SH FILES
+.TP 2.5i
+.I /etc/exports
+input file for
+.BR exportfs ,
+listing exports, export options, and access control lists
