LIBNFS is a client library for accessing NFS shares over a network.
LIBNFS offers three different APIs, for different use :
-1, RAW : A fully async low level RPC library for NFS protocols
+1, RAW : A fully async low level rpc library for nfs protocols
This API is described in include/libnfs-raw.h
it offers a fully async interface to raw XDR encoded blobs.
-This API provides very flexible and precise control of the RPC issued.

examples/nfsclient-raw.c provides examples on how to use the raw API
2, NFS ASYNC : A fully asynchronous library for high level vfs functions
-This API is described by the *_async() functions in include/libnfs.h.

Arguments supported by libnfs are :
- tcp-syncnt=<int> : Number of SYNs to send during the session establish
- before failing setting up the tcp connection to the

uid=<int> : UID value to use when talking to the server.
default it 65534 on Windows and getuid() on unixen.
ROOT vs NON-ROOT
================
When running as root, libnfs tries to allocate a system port for its connection
-to the NFS server. When running as non-root it will use a normal
+to the nfs server. When running as non-root it will use a normal
ephemeral port.
Many NFS servers default to a mode where they do not allow non-system
ports from connecting.
=================
This is a truly multiplatform library.
-Linux: - tested with Ubuntu 10.04 - should work with others as well
+Linux: - tested with Ubuntu 10.04 - should work with others aswell
Cygwin: - tested under 64bit win2k8.
MacOSX: - tested with SDK 10.4 (under Snow Leopard) - should also work with later SDKs and 64Bit
iOS: - tested with iOS SDK 4.2 - running on iOS 4.3.x
