### 3.9 nfs

         nfs://user:password@host:port/file

The ‘`nfs:`’ scheme is defined in RFC 2224. It is similar to ‘`ftp:`’ except that it points to a file on a remote host that is handled by the automounter on the local host.

— Variable: url-nfs-automounter-directory-spec
A string saying how to invoke the NFS automounter. Certain ‘`%`’ sequences are recognized:

‘`%h`’
  The hostname of the NFS server;
‘`%n`’
  The port number of the NFS server;
‘`%u`’
  The username to use to authenticate;
‘`%p`’
  The password to use to authenticate;
‘`%f`’
  The filename on the remote server;
‘`%%`’
  A literal ‘`%`’.

Each can be used any number of times.
