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 exten-
              sion  files.   This  is useful when the extension file names are
              specified 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 debug-
              ging  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.
