BOOTPEF(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BOOTPEF(8)NAME
bootpef -- BOOTP Extension File compiler
SYNOPSIS
bootpef [-c chdir-path] [-d debug-level] [-f config-file] [client-name ...]
DESCRIPTION
The bootpef utility 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, -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.

Originally, we only had one shell on unix. When ran a command, the shell would attempt to invoke one of the exec() system calls on it. It the command was an executable, the exec would succeed and the command would run. If the exec() failed, the shell would not give up, instead it... (3 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)

Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
