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.
