Before doing that, NFSD can be told which sockets to listen on by
writing to nfsd/portlist; that write may be:
- an ascii-encoded file descriptor, which should refer to a
bound (and listening, for tcp) socket, or
- "transportname port", where transportname is currently either
"udp", "tcp", or "rdma".

If nfsd is started without doing any of these, then it will create one
udp and one tcp listener at port 2049 (see nfsd_init_socks).
