It may optionally contain +.Pa swap , +.Pa dump , +and other entry types. +.Pp +Each line in the file +(other than comment lines that begin with a #) +specifies the client name followed by the pathnames that +the client may request by their logical names. Names +are matched in a case-insensitive fashion, and may also +be wildcarded using shell-style globbing characters. +.Pp +The components of the line are delimited with blank or tab, +and may be continued onto multiple lines with a backslash. +.Pp +For example: +.Bd -literal -offset indent +dummy root=server:/export/dummy/root \\ + swap=server:/export/dummy/swap \\ + dump=server:/export/dummy/swap \\ + gateway=router:255.255.255.0 +.Ed +.Pp +When the client named "dummy" requests the pathname for +its logical "root" it will be given server +.Dq Pa "server" +and pathname +.Dq Pa "/export/dummy/root" +as the response to its +.Tn RPC +request. +.Pp +.Bd -literal -offset indent +netra[1-5]www* root=server:/export/jumpstart/netra_www +.Ed +.Pp +When any client with a name matching the pattern "netra[1-5]www*" +requests the pathname for its logical "root" it will be given server +.Dq Pa "server" +and pathname +.Dq Pa "/export/jumpstart/netra_www" +as the response to its +.Tn RPC +request. As this example implies, this is useful for setting up +Jumpstart servers for Sun clients. +.Sh NOTES +The server does not default to the localhost, and must be filled in. +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width /etc/bootparams -compact +.It Pa /etc/bootparams +default configuration file +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr diskless 8 , +.Xr rpc.bootparamd 8 |
