+.SH MOUNT CONFIGURATION FILE
+All of the mount options described in the previous section can also be configured in
+the

+.BR nfsmount.conf(5)
+for details.

+The mount command parses section in a particular order, and will not use

+.RS
+options set on the command line will always be used.

+.B Mount Point options

+options set in the
+.B [MountPoint \(lqMount_Point\(rq]

+the mount point.

+.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 sections
+followed by variables associated with that section.
+A section is defined by a string enclosed by
+.BR [
+and
+.BR ]
+branches.
+Variables are assignment statements that assign values
+to particular variables using the
+.BR =
+operator, as in
+.BR Proto=Tcp .
+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 \(lqServer_Name\(rq ]
+- This section defines all the mount options that should
+be used on mounts to a particular NFS server. The
+.I \(lqServer_Name\(rq
+strings needs to be surrounded by '\(lq' and
+be an exact match of the server name used in the
+.B mount
+command.
+.HP
+.B [ MountPoint \(lqMount_Point\(rq ]
+- This section defines all the mount options that
+should be used on a particular mount point.
+The
+.I \(lqMount_Point\(rq
+string needs to be surrounded by '\(lq' and be an
+exact match of the mount point used in the
+.BR mount
+command.
+.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
+.HP
+The TCP protocol will be used on every NFS mount.
+.HP
+.RE
+[ Server \(lqnfsserver.foo.com\(rq ]
+.br
+ rsize=32k
+.br
+ wsize=32k
+.HP
+.RS
+A 33k (32768 bytes) block size will be used as the read and write
+size on all mounts to the 'nfsserver.foo.com' server.
+.HP
+.RE
+.BR
+[ MountPoint \(lq/export/home\(rq ]
+.br
+ Background=True
+.RS
+.HP
+All mounts to the '/export/home' export will be performed in
+the background (i.e. done asynchronously).
