41Maintenance Operations Protocol
42.Pq Tn MOP
43Load requests on the Ethernet connected to
44.Ar interface
45or all interfaces if
46.Fl a
47option is given.
48.Pp
49In a load request received by
50.Nm
51a filename can be given by the client.
52This is the normal case for terminal servers.
53If a filename isn't in the client load request
54.Nm
55must know what image to load.
56.Pp
57Upon receiving a request,
58.Nm
59checks if the requested file exists in
60.Pa /tftpboot/mop
61(unless the
62.Fl s
63option is given, see below) the filename is normally uppercase and with an
64extension of
65.Pa .SYS .
66If the filename isn't given, the ethernet address of the target is used as
67filename, e.g.
68.Pa 08002b09f4de.SYS
69and it might be a soft link to another file.
70.Pp
71.Nm
72supports two kinds of files.
73The first type that is check is if the file is in
74.Xr a.out 5
75format.
76If not, a couple of Digital's formats are checked.
77.Pp
78In normal operation,
79.Nm
80forks a copy of itself and runs in the background.
81Anomalies and errors are reported via
82.Xr syslog 3 .
