+.TP
+.B -d
+By default,
+.B rpc.statd
+sends logging messages via
+.BR syslog (3)
+to system log. The
+.B -d
+argument forces it to log verbose output to
+.B stderr
+instead. This option is mainly for debugging purposes, and may only
+be used in conjunction with the
+.B -F
+parameter.
+.TP
+.BI "\-n," "" " \-\-name " name
+specify a name for
+.B rpc.statd
+to use as the local hostname. By default,
+.BR rpc.statd
+will call
+.BR gethostname (2)
+to get the local hostname. Specifying
+a local hostname may be useful for machines with more than one
+interfaces.
+.TP
+.BI "\-o," "" " \-\-outgoing\-port " port
+specify a port for
+.B rpc.statd
+to send outgoing status requests from. By default,
+.BR rpc.statd
+will ask
+.BR portmap (8)
+to assign it a port number. As of this writing, there is not
+a standard port number that
+.BR portmap
+always or usually assigns. Specifying
+a port may be useful when implementing a firewall.
+.TP
+.BI "\-p," "" " \-\-port " port
+specify a port for
+.B rpc.statd
+to listen on. By default,
+.BR rpc.statd
+will ask
+.BR portmap (8)
+to assign it a port number. As of this writing, there is not
+a standard port number that
+.BR portmap
+always or usually assigns. Specifying
+a port may be useful when implementing a firewall.
+.TP
+.BI "\-P," "" " \-\-state\-directory\-path " directory
+specify a directory in which to place statd state information.
+If this option is not specified the default of
+.BR /var/lib/nfs
+is used.
+.TP
+.B -N
+Causes statd to run in the notify-only mode. When started in this mode, the
+statd program will check its state directory, send notifications to any
+monitored nodes, and exit once the notifications have been sent. This mode is
+used to enable Highly Available NFS implementations (i.e. HA-NFS).
+This mode is deprecated \-
+.B sm-notify
+should be used directly instead.
+.TP
+.BR -L , " --no-notify
+Inhibits the running of
+.BR sm-notify .
+If
+.B sm-notify
+is run by some other script at boot time, there is no need for
+.B statd
+to start sm-notify itself. This can be appropriate if starting of
+statd needs to be delayed until it is actually need. In such cases
+.B sm-notify
+should still be run at boot time.
+.TP
+.BI "\-H, " "" " \-\-ha-callout " prog
+Specify a high availability callout program, which will receive callouts
+for all client monitor and unmonitor requests. This allows
+.B rpc.statd
+to be used in a High Availability NFS (HA-NFS) environment. The
+program will be run with 3 arguments: The first is either
+.B add-client
+or
+.B del-client
+depending on the reason for the callout.
+The second will be the name of the client.
+The third will be the name of the server as known to the client.
+.TP
+.B -?
+Causes
+.B rpc.statd
+to print out command-line help and exit.
+.TP
+.B -V
+Causes
+.B rpc.statd
+to print out version information and exit.
