fwdload(1M)                                           fwdload(1M)



     NAME
          fwdload - load an application onto an intelligent peripheral

     SYNOPSIS
          fwdload [-a] [-v] [-fdev] [-nname] filename

     DESCRIPTION
          The utility fwdload loads a program onto an intelligent
          peripheral.  The peripheral must have a ``forwarder'' con-
          figured for it (see forwarder(7)).  If the -f flag option is
          used, the peripheral is dev; otherwise, standard output will
          be used.

          The -n flag option allows you to specify a string that is a
          name to be used instead of filename for the program to down-
          load. The default for this string is filename.  The fwd_lkup
          command reports this string in its name field.

          The -v flag option provides diagnostics in verbose format.

          The parameter filename is the application to download. The
          file containing this application must be in COFF format.
          Before the download, a reset is issued to the intelligent
          peripheral.

          If the [-a] option is used, there is no reset.  Once the
          load is complete, execution of the downloaded application
          will begin at the START indicated by the COFF file.

     EXAMPLE
             fwdload -f /dev/fwdicp13 at_load


          will download the AppleTalk(Reg.) driver onto the default
          AppleTalk peripheral in slot 13.
