+.SH NAME
+nfsmount.conf - Configuration file for NFS mounts
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+Configuration file for NFS mounts that allows options
+to be set globally, per server or per mount point.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The configuration file is made up of multiple section headers
+followed by variable assignments associated with that section.
+A section header is defined by a string enclosed by
+.BR [
+and
+.BR ]
+brackets.
+Variable assignments are assignment statements that assign values
+to particular variables using the
+.BR =
+operator, as in
+.BR Proto=Tcp .
+The variables that can be assigned are the set of NFS specific
+mount options listed in
+.BR nfs (5)
+together with the filesystem-independant mount options listed in
+.BR mount (8)
+and three additions:
+.B Sloppy=True
+has the same effect as the
+.B -s
+option to
+.IR mount ,
+and
+.B Foreground=True
+and
+.B Background=True
+have the same effect as
+.B bg
+and
+.BR fg .
+.PP
+Options in the config file may be given in upper, lower, or mixed case
+and will be shifted to lower case before being passed to the filesystem.
+.PP
+Boolean mount options which do not need an equals sign must be given as
+.RI \[dq] option =True".
+Instead of preceeding such an option with
+.RB \[dq] no \[dq]
+its negation must be given as
+.RI \[dq] option =False".
+.PP
+Sections are broken up into three basic categories:
+Global options, Server options and Mount Point options.
+.HP
+.B [ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
+- This statically named section
+defines all of the global mount options that can be
+applied to every NFS mount.
+.HP
+.B [ Server \[dq]Server_Name\[dq] ]
+- This section defines all the mount options that should
+be used on mounts to a particular NFS server. The
+.I \[dq]Server_Name\[dq]
+strings needs to be surrounded by '\[dq]' and be an exact match
+(ignoring case) of the server name used in the
+.B mount
+command.
+.HP
+.B [ MountPoint \[dq]Mount_Point\[dq] ]
+- This section defines all the mount options that
+should be used on a particular mount point.
+The
+.I \[dq]Mount_Point\[dq]
+string needs to be surrounded by '\[dq]' and be an
+exact match of the mount point used in the
+.BR mount
+command.  Though path names are usually case-sensitive, the Mount_Point
+name is matched insensitive to case.
+.PP
+The sections are processed in the reverse of the order listed above, and
+any options already seen, either in a previous section or on the
+command line, will be ignored when seen again.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.PP
+These are some example lines of how sections and variables
+are defined in the configuration file.
+.PP
+[ NFSMount_Global_Options ]
+.br
+    Proto=Tcp
+.RS
+.PP
+The TCP/IPv4 protocol will be used on every NFS mount.
+.RE
+.PP
+[ Server \[dq]nfsserver.foo.com\[dq] ]
+.br
+    rsize=32k
+.br
+    wsize=32k
+.br
+    proto=udp6
+.RS
+.PP
+A 32k (32768 bytes) block size will be used as the read and write
+size on all mounts to the 'nfsserver.foo.com' server.  UDP/IPv6
+is the protocol to be used.
+.RE
+.PP
+[ MountPoint \[dq]/export/home\[dq] ]
+.br
+    Background=True
+.RS
+.PP
+All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed in
+the background (i.e. done asynchronously).
+.RE
+.SH FILES
+.TP 10n
+.I /etc/nfsmount.conf
+Default NFS mount configuration file
+.TP 10n
+.I /etc/nfsmount.conf.d
+When this directory exists and files ending
+with ".conf" exist, those files will be
+used to set configuration variables. These
+files will override variables set
+in /etc/nfsmount.conf
