NAME

       tftpd - Cobbler tftpd service

SYNOPSIS

              tftpd [-h,--help] [-v,--verbose] [-d,--debug] [--version]

              [--port=<port>(69)]

DESCRIPTION

       A  python,  cobbler  integrated  TFTP  server.  It is suitable to call via xinetd, or as a
       stand-alone daemon.  If called via xinetd, it will run, handling requests,  until  it  has
       been idle for at least 30 seconds, and will then exit.

       This  server  queries  cobbler  for  information  about hosts that make requests, and will
       instantiate template files from the materialized hosts' 'fetchable_files' attribute.
