....sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. Roosevelt, 1932 The NFS protocol is a collection of remote procedures that allow a client to transparently access files stored on a server [Joy84a] It is independent of architecture [RFC1014], operating system, network, and transport protocol. The protocol does not exactly match the semantics of any existing system. Instead, it provides a basis for portability and interoperability. NFS Version 1 existed only within Sun Microsystems and was never released. NFS Version 2 was implemented ....

....and server stubs from RPC Data Description Language input, NFS implementations do not require their use. Any software that provides equivalent encoding and decoding to the canonical network order of data defined by XDR can be used to interoperate with other NFS implementations. XDR is described in [RFC1014]. Authentication and Permission Checking The RPC protocol includes a slot for authentication parameters on every call. The contents of the authentication parameters are determined by the type of authentication used by the server and client. A server may support several different flavors of ....
....version. The SYNOPSIS provides the name of the procedure, the list of the names of the arguments, the list of the names of the results, followed by the XDR argument declarations and results declarations. The information in the SYNOPSIS is specified in RPC Data Description Language as defined in [RFC1014]. The DESCRIPTION section tells what the procedure is expected to do and how its arguments and results are used. The ERRORS section lists the errors returned for specific types of failures. These lists are not intended to be the definitive statement of all of the errors which can be returned by ....
