NAME

dhcpcd - DHCP client daemon

SYNOPSIS

dhcpcd [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

dhcpcd is an implementation of the DHCP client specified in RFC2131 (when -r option is not specified) and RFC1541 (when -r option is specified). The dhcpcd package includes daemons for both 2.0.x and 2.2.x kernels. dhcpcd is a link modified by the startup script that points to dhcpcd-2.0.x or dhcpcd-2.2.x, depending on the kernel version that is currently running. This is necessary for programs, such as pcmcia-cs, that depend on /sbin/dhcpcd work for the running kernel. Although the two daemons dhcpcd-2.0.x and dhcpcd-2.2.x share many of the same options, check the appropriate man page for the proper options to pass to dhcpcd. SEE ALSO dhcpcd-2.0.x(8), dhcpcd-2.2.x(8)
