-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm
-is an implementation of the DHCP client specified in
-.Li RFC 2131 .
-.Nm
-gets the host information
-.Po
-IP address, routes, etc
-.Pc
-from a DHCP server and configures the network
-.Ar interface
-of the
-machine on which it is running.
-.Nm
-then runs the configuration script which writes DNS information to
-.Xr resolvconf 8 ,
-if available, otherwise directly to
-.Pa /etc/resolv.conf .
-If the hostname is currenly blank, (null) or localhost then
-.Nm
-sets the hostname to the one supplied by the DHCP server.
-.Nm
-then daemonises and waits for the lease renewal time to lapse.
-Then it attempts to renew its lease and reconfigure if the new lease changes.
-.Ss Local Link configuration
-If
-.Nm
-failed to obtain a lease, it probes for a valid IPv4LL address
-.Po
-aka ZeroConf, aka APIPA
-.Pc .
-Once obtained it restarts the process of looking for a DHCP server to get a
-proper address.
-.Pp
-When using IPv4LL,
-.Nm
-nearly always succeeds and returns an exit code of 0.
-In the rare case it fails, it normally means that there is a reverse ARP proxy
-installed which always defeats IPv4LL probing.
-To disable this behaviour, you can use the
-.Fl L , -noipv4ll
-option.
-.Ss Hooking into DHCP events
-.Nm
-runs
-.Pa @SCRIPT@ ,
-or the script specified by the
-.Fl c , -script
-option.
-This script runs each script found in
-.Pa @HOOKDIR@
-in a lexical order.
-The default installation supplies the scripts
-.Pa 01-test ,
-.Pa 10-mtu ,
-.Pa 20-resolv.conf
-and
-.Pa 30-hostname .
-You can disable each script by using the
-.Fl C , -nohook
-option.
-See
-.Xr dhcpcd-run-hooks 8
-for details on how these scripts work.
-.Nm
-currently ignores the exit code of the script.
-.Ss Fine tuning
-You can fine tune the behaviour of
-.Nm
-with the following options:
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl b , -background
-Background immediately.
-This is useful for startup scripts which don't disable link messages for
-carrier status.
-.It Fl c , -script Ar script
-Use this
-.Ar script
-instead of the default
-.Pa @SCRIPT@ .
-.It Fl d , -debug
-Echo debug and informational messages to the console.
-Subsequent debug options stop
-.Nm
-from daemonising.
-.It Fl f , -config Ar file
-Specify a config to load instead of
-.Pa @SYSCONFDIR@/dhcpcd.conf .
-.Nm
-always processes the config file before any command line options.
-.It Fl h , -hostname Ar hostname
-By default,
-.Nm
-sends the current hostname to the DHCP server so it can register in DNS.
-You can use this option to specify the
-.Ar hostname
-sent, or an empty string to
-stop any
-.Ar hostname
-from being sent.
-.It Fl i , -vendorclassid Ar vendorclassid
-Override the
-.Ar vendorclassid
-field sent. The default is
-dhcpcd <version>.
-If not set then none is sent.
-.It Fl k , -release
-This causes an existing
-.Nm
-process running on the
-.Ar interface
-to release its lease, deconfigure the
-.Ar interface
-and then exit.
-.Nm
-then waits until this process has exited.
-.It Fl l , -leasetime Ar seconds
-Request a specific lease time in
-.Ar seconds .
-By default
-.Nm
-does not request any lease time and leaves the it in the hands of the
-DHCP server.
-.It Fl m , -metric Ar metric
-Added routes will use the
-.Ar metric
-on systems where this is supported
-.Po
-presently only Linux
-.Pc .
-Route metrics allow the addition of routes to the same destination across
-different interfaces, the lower the metric the more it is preferred.
-.It Fl o , -option Ar option
-Request the DHCP
-.Ar option
-variable for use in
-.Pa @SCRIPT@ .
-.It Fl n , -rebind
-Notifies an existing
-.Nm
-process running on the
-.Ar interface
-to rebind it's lease.
-.Nm
-will not re-configure itself or use any other command line arguments.
-.Nm
-will timeout the rebind after 30 seconds at which point the lease will be
-expired and
-.Nm
-will enter the discovery state to obtain a new lease.
-Use the
-.Fl t , -timeout
-option to change this.
-If
-.Nm
-is not running, then it starts up as normal.
-This option used to be renew, but rebind is more accurate as we need to
-broadcast the request instead of unicasting.
-.It Fl p , -persistent
-.Nm
-normally deconfigures the
-.Ar interface
-and configuration when it exits.
-Sometimes, this isn't desirable if for example you have root mounted over NFS.
-You can use this option to stop this from happening.
-.It Fl r , -request Op Ar address
-.Nm
-normally sends a DHCP DISCOVER to find servers to offer an address.
-.Nm
-then requests the address used.
-You can use this option to skip the BROADCAST step and just request the
-.Ar address .
-The downside is if you request an
-.Ar address
-the DHCP server does not know about or the DHCP server is not
-authorative, it will remain silent.
-In this situation, we go back to the init state and DISCOVER again.
-If no
-.Ar address
-is given then the first address currently assigned to the
-.Ar interface
-is used.
-.It Fl s , -inform Op Ar address Ns Op Ar /cidr
-Behaves like
-.Fl r , -request
-as above, but sends a DHCP INFORM instead of a REQUEST.
-This does not get a lease as such, just notifies the DHCP server of the
-.Ar address
-in use.
-You should also include the optional
-.Ar cidr
-network number in-case the address is not already configured on the interface.
-.Nm
-remains running and pretends it has an infinite lease.
-.Nm
-will not de-configure the interface when it exits.
-If
-.Nm
-fails to contact a DHCP server then it returns a failure instead of falling
-back on IPv4LL.
-.It Fl t , -timeout Ar seconds
-Timeout after
-.Ar seconds ,
-instead of the default 30.
-A setting of 0
-.Ar seconds
-causes
-.Nm
-to wait forever to get a lease.
-.It Fl u , -userclass Ar class
-Tags the DHCP message with the userclass
-.Ar class .
-DHCP servers use this give members of the class DHCP options other than the
-default, without having to know things like hardware address or hostname.
-.It Fl v , -vendor Ar code , Ns Ar value
-Add an enscapulated vendor option.
-.Ar code
-should be between 1 and 254 inclusive.
-Examples.
-.Pp
-Set the vendor option 01 with an IP address.
-.D1 dhcpcd \-v 01,192.168.0.2 eth0
-Set the vendor option 02 with a hex code.
-.D1 dhcpcd \-v 02,01:02:03:04:05 eth0
-Do the above and set a third option with a string and not an IP address.
-.D1 dhcpcd \-v 01,192.168.0.2 \-v 02,01:02:03:04:05 \-v 03,\e"192.168.0.2\e" eth0
-.It Fl x , -exit
-This will signal an existing
-.Nm
-process running on the
-.Ar interface
-to deconfigure the
-.Ar interface
-and exit.
-.Nm
-then waits until this process has exited.
-.It Fl D , -duid
-Generate an
-.Li RFC 4361
-compliant clientid.
-This requires persistent storage and not all DHCP servers work with it so it's
-not enabled by default.
-.Nm
-generates the DUID and stores in it
-.Pa @SYSCONFDIR@/dhcpcd.duid
-This file should not be copied to other hosts.
-.It Fl E , -lastlease
-If
-.Nm
-cannot obtain a lease, then try to use the last lease acquired for the
-interface.
-If the
-.Fl p, -persistent
-option is not given then the lease is used if it hasn't expired.
-.It Fl F , -fqdn Ar fqdn
-Requests that the DHCP server updates DNS using FQDN instead of just a
-hostname.
-Valid values for
-.Ar fqdn
-are disable, none, ptr and both.
-The current hostname or the hostname specified using the
-.Fl h , -hostname
-option must be a FQDN.
-.Nm
-itself never does any DNS updates.
-.Nm
-encodes the FQDN hostname as specified in
-.Li RFC1035 .
-.It Fl I , -clientid Ar clientid
-Change the default clientid sent from the interface hardware address.
-If the string is of the format 01:02:03 then it is encoded as hex.
-If not set then none is sent.
-.El
-.Ss Restriciting behaviour
-.Nm
-will try to do as much as it can by default.
-However, there are sometimes situations where you don't want the things to be
-configured exactly how the the DHCP server wants.
-Here are some options that deal with turning these bits off.
-.Bl -tag -width indent
-.It Fl q , -quiet
-Quiet
-.Nm
-on the command line, only warnings and errors will be displayed.
-The messages are still logged though.
-.It Fl A , -noarp
-Don't request or claim the address by ARP.
-This also disables IPv4LL.
-.It Fl B , -nobackground
-Don't run in the background when we acquire a lease.
-This is mainly useful for running under the control of another process, such
-as a debugger or a network manager.
-.It Fl C , -nohook Ar script
-Don't run this hook script.
-Matches full name, or prefixed with 2 numbers optionally ending with
-.Pa .sh .
-.Pp
-So to stop dhcpcd from touching your DNS or MTU settings you would do:-
-.D1 dhcpcd -C resolv.conf -C mtu eth0
-.It Fl G , -nogateway
-Don't set any default routes.
-.It Fl K , -nolink
-Don't receive link messages for carrier status.
-You should only have to use this with buggy device drivers or running
-.Nm
-through a network manager.
-.It Fl L , -noipv4ll
-Don't use IPv4LL (aka APIPA, aka Bonjour, aka ZeroConf).
-.It Fl O , -nooption Ar option
-Don't request the specified option.
-If no option given, then don't request any options other than those to
-configure the interface and routing.
-.It Fl Q , -require Ar option
-Requires the
-.Ar option
-to be present in all DHCP messages, otherwise the message is ignored.
-.It Fl T, -test
-On receipt of OFFER messages just call
-.Pa @SCRIPT@
-with the reason of TEST which echo's the DHCP variables found in the message
-to the console.
-The interface configuration isn't touched and neither are any configuration
-files.
-.It Fl V, -variables
-Display a list of option codes and the associated variable for use in
-.Xr dhcpcd-run-hooks 8 .
-.It Fl X, -blacklist Ar address
-Ignores all DHCP messages which have this
-.Ar address
-as the server ID.
-This may be expanded in future releases to ignore all packets
-matching either the IP or hardware
-.Ar address .
-.El
-.Sh NOTES
-.Nm
-requires a Berkley Packet Filter, or BPF device on BSD based systems and a
-Linux Socket Filter, or LPF device on Linux based systems.
