I can't find it in the manual either (but I have an outdated version,
and I don't know if it's a complete set).  I'm not an NFS expert, but
I can tell you the arguments the system call expects:
	nfs_mount(char *directory, struct nfs_args *args, int read_only);
You will find struct nfs_args defined in /usr/include/sys/nfs.h.

I imagine that it is quite possible that you are better off invoking
the mount command, so you get all of the bells and whistles it provides.
This would include things like writing an entry to /local/mtab.

Disclaimer: I don't speak for Locus, and I may not know what I'm talking
about anyway:-)
