-.SH NAME
-ether-wake \- A tool to send a Wake-On-LAN "Magic Packet"
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B ether-wake
-.RI [ options ] " Host-ID"
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-This manual page documents the usage of the
-.B ether-wake
-command.
-.PP
-.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
-.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
-.\" respectively.
-\fBether-wake\fP is a program that generates and transmits a Wake-On-LAN
-(WOL) "Magic Packet", used for restarting machines that have been
-soft-powered-down (ACPI D3-warm state). It generates the standard
-AMD Magic Packet format, optionally with a password included. The
-single required parameter is a station (MAC) address or a host ID that can
-be translated to a MAC address by an
-.BR ethers (5)
-database specified in
-.BR nsswitch.conf (5)
-.
-.SH OPTIONS
-\fBether-wake\fP needs a single dash (´-´) in front of options.
-A summary of options is included below.
-.TP
-.B \-b
-Send the 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 a few adapters
-need or support this. A six byte password may be specified in Ethernet hex
-format (00:22:44:66:88:aa) or four byte dotted decimal (192.168.1.1) format.
-A four byte password must use the dotted decimal format.
-
-.TP
-.B \-V
-Show the program version information.
-
-.SH EXIT STATUS
-This program returns 0 on success.
-A permission failures (e.g. run as a non-root user) results in an exit
-status of 2. Unrecognized or invalid parameters result in an exit
-status of 3. Failure to retrieve network interface information or send
-a packet will result in an exit status of 1.

-.SH SEE ALSO
-.BR arp (8).

-.SH SECURITY
-On some non-Linux 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.
-.SH AUTHOR
-The etherwake program was written by Donald Becker at Scyld Computing
-Corporation for use with the Scyld(\*(Tm) Beowulf System.
