As the man page says, ctld is "CAM Target Layer / iSCSI target daemon".
Sure, right now it's pretty iSCSI-specific, but it doesn't need to be - =
it can
be extended to just manage CTL configuration (e.g. for Fibre Channel),
or to support other CTL-backed storage protocols, such as FCoE.

It's just a helper daemon for ctl(4) - thus, ctld(8).  And in case =
someone
does "man -k iscsi", there is the "iSCSI target" in the manual page =
title.
