.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility builds the
.Em "Extension Path"
files described by
.%T "RFC 1497"
(tag 18).
If any

.Nm
compiles the extension files for only those clients.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl c Ar chdir\-path
Sets the current directory used by
.Nm
while creating extension files.
This is useful when the

needs to use the same current directory as the TFTP server
(typically
.Pa /tftpboot ) .
.It Fl d Ar debug\-level
Sets the
.Ar debug\-level
variable that controls the amount of debugging messages generated.
For example,
.Fl d Ar 4
will set the debugging level to 4.
.It Fl f Ar config\-file
Set the name of the config file that specifies the option
data to be sent to each client.
