FS(1) Xinu Programmer's Manual FS(1) NAME fs - invoke server side of Xinu remote file system SYNOPSIS fs [ -pport ] DESCRIPTION _F_s invokes the Xinu remote file system server on a UNIX host. The server executes with permissions set to that of the invoking user, or user ``xinu'' if it is able to change user id. Typically, the host machine invokes _f_s at system startup, making it available always. Option -p allows the user to specify a _U_D_P port number to which the server will respond. If -p is omitted, _f_s uses a default port number. Thus, it is possible to have several versions of the server in use simultaneously, with each ver- sion using a unique UDP port. When started, _f_s forks a child in background to become the file server. The background process executes forever, but the foreground process exits. Thus, the _f_s command appears to complete instantly even though the server is still exe- cuting. Version 6b Printed 1/12/87 1
