.Sh NAME
.Nm mopd
.Nd MOP loader daemon
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm mopd
.Op Fl adf
.Op Ar interface
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
services MOP Load requests on the Ethernet connected to
.Ar interface
or all interfaces if
.Fl a
is given.
In a load request received by
.Nm
a filename can be given.
This is the normal case for, e.g., terminal servers.
If a filename isn't given
.Nm
must know what image to load.
.Pp
Upon receiving a request,
.Nm
checks if the requested file exists in
.Pa /tftpboot/mop .
The filename is normally all uppercase and with an extension of
.Pa .SYS .
If the filename isn't given, the Ethernet address of the target is used as
filename (e.g.,
.Pa 08002b09f4de.SYS ) ,
and it might be a soft link to another file.
.Pp
.Nm
supports two kinds of files.
The file is first checked to see if it is in
.Xr a.out 5
format.
If not, a few of Digital's formats are checked.
.Pp
In normal operation,
.Nm
forks a copy of itself and runs in
the background.
Anomalies and errors are reported via
.Xr syslog 3 .
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl a
Listen on all the Ethernets attached to the system.
If
.Fl a
is omitted, an interface must be specified.
.It Fl d
Run in debug mode, with all the output to stdout.
The process will run in the foreground.
.It Fl f
Run in the foreground.
