.SH Description
.NXR "NFS file system" "format"
.NXS "Network File System" "NFS file"
.NXR "NFS file system"
The Network File System (NFS)
is a specific file system implemented under
the Generic File System Interface,
as described in 
.MS gfsi 5 . 
.PP
NFS provides support for sharing ordinary 
files and directories in a multivendor networking environment. 
The system administrator for a file server machine makes a file system
available for remote access by placing the name of the file
system to be shared in an export list.  The administrator
for a client machine can import a file system from any server machine
that has granted access permission to the requesting client machine.
A complete exported file system or any subtree of an exported
file system can be imported by the client machine.  Once imported,
users on the client machine can access files
in the remote file system as though they were local files.
