As shipped in IRIX 6.5. First release of IRIX 6.5.

NAME
     updbootparam - NIS bootparams database update program

SYNOPSIS
     updbootparam bootparams-file "make bootparams"

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

     Updbootparam is designed to be used in the make file updaters(4).  The
     parameter bootparams-file should be the bootparams file used in NIS
     database makefile, /var/yp/Makefile.  Usually, it is /etc/bootparams.
     The update request tells updbootparam whether to add or delete an
     bootparams entry.
