The hostname returned in response to the booting client's whoami request +will be the name that appears in the config file, not the canonical name. +In this way you can keep the answer short enough +so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames won't fail during boot. +.Pp +While parsing, if a line containing just ``+'' is found, and +the YP subsystem is active, the YP map +.Pa bootparams +will be searched immediately. +.Sh OPTIONS +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Fl d +Display the debugging information.
