+Wake-on-LAN
+-----------
+`pvenode` allows to wake sleeping nodes in a cluster via a Wake-on-LAN (WOL)
+packet. For this to work, the network interface of the node to wake must support
+WOL as well as have it enabled.
+
+`pvenode wakeonlan <node>` is used to wake the sleeping `<node>`.
+It sends the WOL magic packet via an UDP broadcast to `255.255.255.255` on
+port 9. The MAC address of `<node>` is obtained from the `wakeonlan` property
+specified in the per node configuration `/etc/pve/nodes/{node}/config`.
