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 specified, 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  speci-
	      fied as relative pathnames, and bootpef needs to use the same current directory as the TFTP server (typically /tftpboot).

       -d debug-level
	      Sets  the  debug-level  variable	that  controls	the amount of debugging messages generated.  For example, -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.
