# Wake-on-LAN

This module provides a wrapper around the [wakeonlan][1] tool.

## Usage

To use this wrapper, create the _`~/.wakeonlan`_ directory, and place in it one
file for each device you would like to be able to wake. Give the file a name
that describes the device, such as its hostname.

Each file should contain a line with the MAC address of the target device and
the network broadcast address. For instance, there might be a file
_`~/.wakeonlan/leto`_ with the following contents:

```conf
00:11:22:33:44:55:66 192.168.0.255
```

To wake that device, use the following command:

```console
wake leto
```

For more information on the configuration file format, read the
[wakeonlan man page][2].
