            Bug ID: 196403
           Summary: nfsd(8) man page incorrectly specifies -minthreads and
                    -maxthreads options as getopt style options...
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: greg at codeconcepts.com

The nfsd(8) manpage on FreeBSD 10.1-STABLE lists two new options:

-maxthreads threads
-minthreads threads

in both the synopsis and description.  The nfsd binary doesn't
like these options, and suggests that they are long/gnu style
options of the form:

--maxthreads threads
--minthreads threads

Using the long style notation works as expected, suggesting
the man page is in error.

$ grep minthreads /etc/rc.conf
nfs_server_flags="-u -t -minthreads 4"

$ sudo service nfsd start
NFSv4 is disabled
Starting nfsd.
nfsd: invalid option -- m
usage:

$ grep minthreads /etc/rc.conf
nfs_server_flags="-u -t --minthreads 4"

$ sudo service nfsd start
