BOOTPEF(8)                                             BOOTPEF(8)


NAME
       bootpef - BOOTP Extension File compiler



SYNOPSIS
       bootpef  [-c  chdir]  [-d  debug-level]  [-f  config-file]
       [client-name [...]]

DESCRIPTION
       bootpef builds the Extension Path files described  by  RFC
       1497  (tag  18).   If any client-name arguments are speci-
       fied, then bootpef compiles the extension files  for  only
       those clients.

OPTIONS
       -c chdir-path
              Sets  the  current  directory used by bootpef while
              creating extension files.  This is useful when  the
              extension  file  names  are  specified  as relative
              pathnames, and bootpef needs to use the  same  cur-
              rent directory as the TFTP server (typically /tftp-
              boot).

       -d debug-level
              Sets the debug-level  variable  that  controls  the
              amount  of debugging messages generated.  For exam-
              ple, -d4 or -d 4 will set the debugging level to 4.

       -f config-file
              Set  the name of the config file that specifies the
              option data to be sent to each client.
