.SH NAME
kcfd \- kernel-level cryptographic framework daemon
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.nf
\fBkcfd\fR 
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBkcfd\fR daemon helps in managing CPU usage by cryptographic operations performed in software by kernel threads. The system utilization associated with these threads is charged to the \fBkcfd\fR process.
.sp
.LP
Only a privileged user can run this daemon.
.sp
.LP
The \fBkcfd\fR daemon is automatically invoked in run level 1, after \fB/usr\fR is mounted. A previously invoked \fBkcfd\fR daemon that is still running must be stopped before invoking another \fBkcfd\fR command.
.sp
.LP
Manually starting and restarting \fBkcfd\fR is not recommended. If it is necessary to do so, use the \fBcryptoadm\fR(1M) \fBstart\fR and \fBstop\fR subcommands.
