The host's name is translated to an ethernet +address using the +.Xr ether_hostton 3 +function. +(This option and the +.Fl a +option are mutually exclusive.) +.It Fl o Ar outfile +Output the resulting bootstrap program into the file named by +.Ar outfile , +replacing it if it already exists. If the +.Fl o +flag is not specified, the output file name will be +the name of the input bootstrap program concatenated with a +period and the digits of the ethernet address being encoded. +For instance, if the input file is named +.Pa /usr/mdec/netboot +and is being configured to encode the ethernet address +.Li 08:00:2b:bd:5d:fd , +then the default output file name would be +.Pa /usr/mdec/netboot.08002bbd5dfd . +It is safe to set the output file name to be the same as the +input file name; the input file is read in its entirety before +the output file is modified. +.It Fl u +Remove configuration information from the specified network +bootstrap program.
