 7+This plugin provides a wrapper around the "wakeonlan" tool available from most
 8+distributions' package repositories, or from the following website:
 9+
10+http://gsd.di.uminho.pt/jpo/software/wakeonlan/
11+
12+In order to use this wrapper, create the ~/.wakeonlan directory, and place in
13+that directory one file for each device you would like to be able to wake. Give
14+the file a name that describes the device, such as its hostname. Each file
15+should contain a line with the mac address of the target device and the network
16+broadcast address.
17+
18+For instance, there might be a file ~/.wakeonlan/leto with the following
19+contents:
20+
21+00:11:22:33:44:55:66 192.168.0.255
22+
23+To wake that device, use the following command:
24+
25+# wake leto
26+
27+The available device names will be autocompleted, so:
28+
29+# wake <tab>
30+
31+...will suggest "leto", along with any other configuration files that were
32+placed in the ~/.wakeonlan directory.
33+
34+For more information regarding the configuration file format, check the
35+wakeonlan man page.
