+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is the NFSv4 ID <-> name mapping daemon. It provides functionality to
+the NFSv4 kernel client and server, to which it communicates via
+upcalls, by translating user and group IDs to names, and vice versa.
+.Pp
+The system derives the
+.Em user
+part of the string by performing a password or group lookup.
+The lookup mechanism is configured in
+.Pa /etc/idmapd.conf
+.Pp
+By default, the
+.Em domain
+part of the string is the system's DNS domain name.
+It can also be specified in
+.Pa /etc/idmapd.conf
+if the system is multi-homed,
+or if the system's DNS domain name does
+not match the name of the system's Kerberos realm.
+.Pp
+When the domain is not specified in /etc/idmapd.conf
+the local DNS server will be queried for the
+.Sy _nfsv4idmapdomain
+text record. If the record exists
+that will be used as the domain. When the record
+does not exist, the domain part of the DNS domain
+will used.
+.Pp
+Note that on more recent kernels only the NFSv4 server uses
+.Nm .
+The NFSv4 client instead uses
+.Xr nfsidmap 8 ,
+and only falls back to
+.Nm
+if there was a problem running the
+.Xr nfsidmap 8
+program.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds_imagedir
+.It Fl h
+Display usage message.
+.It Fl v
+Increases the verbosity level (can be specified multiple times).
+.It Fl f
+Runs
+.Nm
+in the foreground and prints all output to the terminal.
+.It Fl p Ar path
+Specifies the location of the RPC pipefs to be
+.Ar path .
+The default value is \&"/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs\&".
+.It Fl c Ar path
+Use configuration file
+.Ar path .
+This option is deprecated.
+.It Fl C
+Client-only: perform no idmapping for any NFS server, even if one is detected.
+.It Fl S
+Server-only: perform no idmapping for any NFS client, even if one is detected.

+.Sh CONFIGURATION FILES

+All other settings related to id mapping are found in the
