## TL;DR

```sh
# Install `wakeonlan`.
brew install 'wakeonlan'

# Broadcast a WOL package.
wakeonlan '11:22:33:44:55:66'

# Simulate the broadcast.
wakeonlan -n '11:22:33:44:55:66'

# Limit the magic package to specific networks or hosts.
# Use network *broadcast* addresses to ensure the magic packets can actually
# reach the target host; avoid this by having a static ARP table configured.
wakeonlan -i '192.168.1.255' '11:22:33:44:55:66'
wakeonlan -n '11:22:33:44:55:66' -i '192.168.100.3'
```
