ISCSID(8)		  BSD System Manager's Manual		     ISCSID(8)

NAME
     iscsid — interface to kernel iSCSI driver

SYNOPSIS
     iscsid [-n] [-d lvl]

DESCRIPTION
     The iSCSI initiator runs as a kernel driver, and provides access to iSCSI
     targets running across a network using the iSCSI protocol, RFC 3720.  The
     iscsid utility itself interfaces to the kernel iSCSI driver, and also
     communicates, using isns(3), with the iSCSI name service running on other
     hosts to locate services and iSCSI instances.  In normal operation,
     iscsid is a standard daemon, and will detach from the controlling termi‐
     nal using daemon(3) and then loops, reading requests, processing them,
     and sending responses.  Communication takes place over a Unix domain
     socket.  iscsid exits on receiving a terminate message, (no response to
     one that is sent to the kernel), or when an error occurs reading from or
     writing to the socket.

     The -d flag increases the debug level to lvl.  Any level above 0 causes
     iscsid to remain in the foreground, and increases the amount of debug
     output.  The -n flag makes the daemon single-threaded.

     It is envisaged that user-level communication take place with iscsid
     using the iscsictl(8) utility, rather than directly over its communica‐
     tion socket.  An example of setting up the in-kernel iSCSI initiator is
     shown in iscsictl(8).
