BootUtil accepts one executable option and the associated non-executable options in an execution. If
conflicting executable options (such as -FLASHENABLE and -UPDATE used together) are supplied,
BOOTUTIL exits with an error.
If you enter BootUtil without any command line options, the utility displays a list of all of the Intel network
