NAME
wol - send wake-on-lan Ethernet packet
SYNOPSIS
ip/wol [ -v ] [ -a dialstr ] [ -c password ] macaddr
DESCRIPTION
Wol sends a magic wake-on-lan Ethernet packet to dialstr (default
udp!255.255.255.255!0, the IPv4 broadcast address), intended to wake up
the machine with an Ethernet interface with the MAC address macaddr.
Macaddr is not used to route the packet, but is inserted into the magic
packet as required by the wake-on-lan protocol.
An optional password of at most six bytes can be sent. The option -v
prints verbose information about the packet sent.
