init: fn(progress: int);
receive: fn(host: string, filename: string,
fd: ref Sys->FD): string;
};
DESCRIPTION
Tftp fetches files from an Internet TFTP server. It is typically used
only to fetch kernels or configuration files when booting. Only one
transfer can be active at any given time.
Init must be called once before using any other function of the module.
If progress is non-zero, receive will periodically print a character as
blocks are received: `.' for every 25 blocks, `S' for a sequence
error, `T' for a timeout.
Receive attempts to fetch the contents of filename from host and writes
the blocks of data to fd as they are received. It returns when the
file transfer has completed, returning a nil string on success or a
diagnostic string otherwise. When booting, fd is typically open on the
kexec file of boot(3).
