NAME
     updbootparam - NIS bootparams database update program

SYNOPSIS
     updbootparam bootparams-file "make bootparams"

DESCRIPTION
     updbootparam, which runs on an NIS master only, is the NIS bootparams(4)
     update program that modifies the database upon request.  An update
     request is sent from yp_bootparam(1M) command using an RPC call.
     updbootparam is invoked indirectly by the RPC daemon rpc.ypupdated(1M)
     via an intermediate makefile updaters(4).

     updbootparam is designed to be used in the makefile updaters.  The
     parameter bootparams-file is the bootparams file used in the NIS database
     makefile, /var/yp/Makefile.  Usually, it is /etc/bootparams.  The update
     request tells updbootparam whether to add or delete a bootparams entry.
