+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.sp
+tnfsd \fBdirectory\fP [\fB\-c\fP \fIusername\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+TNFS is a simplified Internet file transfer protocol, designed for
+simplicity and ease of implementation on small systems, such as 8\-bit
+computers. It\(aqs simpler than NFS, SMB, or FTP. It\(aqs similar to TFTP,
+but has features TFTP lacks.
+.sp
+\fBtnfsd\fP is the server for the TNFS protocol. It listens for clients
+on UDP port 16384. In theory, the protocol supports TCP connections,
+but this hasn\(aqt been implemented yet.
+.sp
+The mandatory \fBdirectory\fP option is the root of the TNFS filesystem
+tree.
+.sp
+The \fB\-c\fP \fIusername\fP option requires \fBtnfsd\fP to be run as
+\fIroot\fP\&. If given, \fBtnfsd\fP will \fBchroot\fP(2) to the \fIdirectory\fP,
+then drop its root privileges and run as the \fIusername\fP user instead.
+.sp
+Even without \fBchroot\fP, \fBtnfsd\fP will not deliberately allow access
+to files outside the \fIdirectory\fP\&. The \fB\-c\fP option is a safety net,
+in case there\(aqs a bug in \fBtnfsd\fP that allows such access (currently,
+no such bug is known of).
+.sp
+Note that \fBtnfsd\fP can be started by a normal user, since it uses an
+unprivileged UDP port. The \fB\-c\fP option won\(aqt work in this case.
+.sp
+\fBtnfsd\fP logs various information to standard error. If compiled with
+\fI\-DUSAGE_LOG\fP, the log includes all mount, umount, and file transfer
+requests including the client IP addresses.
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+.sp
+\fBtnfsd\fP is designed to be simple, so the following list of
+limitations should not be read as complaints or feature requests.
+.sp
+There is no way to run multiple \fBtnfsd\fP instances on the same
+host, not even on a multi\-homed host. The default UDP port cannot
+be changed; neither can the IP address used for binding (which is
+\fI0.0.0.0\fP, aka \fIINADDR_ANY\fP). Also, there\(aqs no concept of virtual
+hosts. If you \fIreally\fP want to run multiple instances, use containers
+or virtual machines.
+.sp
+There\(aqs no way to limit which hosts may access \fBtnfsd\fP using any
+mechanism such as \fBtcpd\fP(8). Firewall rules may be used instead,
+e.g. \fBiptables\fP(8).
+.sp
+There isn\(aqt a way to share a directory read\-only with the current
+\fBtnfsd\fP implementation. However, filesystem permissions can be used
+to prevent the daemon from writing to the shared directory.
