.TH ETHERWAKE 8 "February 24, 2002"
.SH NAME
etherwake \- A little tools to send magic WOL packages
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B etherwake
.RI [ options ] " MAC-Address"
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B etherwake
commands.
.PP
\fBetherwake\fP is a program that generates and transmits Wake-On-LAN
(WOL) "Magic Packet", used for restarting machines that have been
soft-powered-down (ACPI D3-warm state). It currently generates the standard
AMD Magic Packet format, with an optinonal password appended.
.SH OPTIONS
\fBetherwake\fP needs a single dash ('-') in front of the option.
A summary of options is included below.
.TP
.B \-u
A short help
.TP
.B \-h
A longer help. Like this manpage.
.TP
.B \-b
Send wake-up packet to the broadcast address.
.TP
.B \-D
Increase the Debug Level.
.TP
.B \-i ifname
Use interface ifname instead of the default "eth0".
.TP
.B \-p passwd
Append a four or six byte password to the packet. Only very few adapters
need or support this. The password may be also specified in ethernet hex
format (00:22:44:66:88:aa) or dotted decimal (192.168.1.1).
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR arp (8).
.br
.SH KNOWN BUGS
On some systems dropping root capability allows the process to be
dumped, traced or debugged.
If someone traces this program, they get control of a raw socket.
Linux handles this safely, but beware when porting this program.
