Sun's <acronym class="acronym">NFS</acronym> protocol provides transparent remote access to 
shared file systems across networks. The <acronym class="acronym">NFS</acronym> protocol is 
designed to be machine, operating system, network architecture, and 
transport protocol independent. This independence is achieved through the 
use of Remote Procedure Call (<acronym class="acronym">RPC</acronym>) primitives built on 
top of an eXternal Data Representation (<acronym class="acronym">XDR</acronym>).
</p><p>
The supporting MOUNT protocol performs the operating system-specific 
functions that allow clients to attach remote folder trees to a point 
within the local file system. The mount process also allows the server to 
grant remote access privileges to a restricted set of clients via export 
control.</p><p>
The Lock Manager provides support for file locking when used in the 
<acronym class="acronym">NFS</acronym> environment. The Network Lock Manager 
(<acronym class="acronym">NLM</acronym>) protocol isolates the inherently stateful aspects 
of file locking into a separate protocol.</p><p>
