sends a magic wake-on-lan Ethernet packet to
dialstr
(default
udp!255.255.255.255!0,
the IPv4 broadcast address),
intended to wake up the machine with an Ethernet interface with the MAC
address
macaddr.
Macaddr
is not used to route the packet, but is inserted into the magic packet
as required by the wake-on-lan protocol.
An optional
password
of at most six bytes can be sent.
The option
