<modulesummary>Boot Server for Other Erlang Machines</modulesummary>
<description>
<p>This server is used to assist diskless Erlang nodes which fetch
all Erlang code from another machine.</p>
<p>This server is used to fetch all code, including the start
script, if an Erlang runtime system is started with
the <c>-loader inet</c> command line flag. All hosts specified
with the <c>-hosts Host</c> command line flag must have one
instance of this server running.</p>
<p>This server can be started with the <c>kernel</c> configuration
parameter <c>start_boot_server</c>.</p>
<p>The <c>erl_boot_server</c> can both read regular files as well as
files in archives. See <seealso marker="code">code(3)</seealso>
and <seealso marker="erts:erl_prim_loader">erl_prim_loader(3)</seealso>.</p>
<warning><p>The support for loading of code from archive files is
experimental. The sole purpose of releasing it before it is ready
is to obtain early feedback. The file format, semantics,
interfaces etc. may be changed in a future release.</p></warning>
