-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-The
-.Nm
-program is used to send Wake on LAN (WoL) frames over a local
-Ethernet network to one or more hosts using their link layer (hardware)
-addresses.
-WoL functionality is generally enabled in a machine's BIOS
-and can be used to power on machines from a remote system without
-having physical access to them.
-.Pp
-.Ar interface
-is an Ethernet interface of the local machine and is used to send the
-Wake on LAN frames over it.
-If there is only one Ethernet device available that is up and running, then the
-.Ar interface
-argument can be omitted.
-.Ar lladdr
-is the link layer address of the remote machine.
-This can be specified as the actual hardware address
-(six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons)
-or as a hostname entry in
-.Pa /etc/ethers .
-.Nm
-accepts multiple
-.Ar lladdr
-addresses.
-Link layer addresses can be determined and set using
-.Xr ifconfig 8 .
