.Sh NAME
.Nm dhcp6leased
.Nd Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv6) client daemon for IPv6 prefix delegation
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl dnv
.Op Fl f Ar file
.Op Fl s Ar socket
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is an IPv6 dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCPv6) daemon for clients.
It requests IPv6 prefix delegations from DHCPv6 servers for assignment
to downstream interfaces.
.Pp
DHCPv6 clients are identified by DHCPv6 Unique Identifiers (DUID).
.Nm
uses a DUID based on a random Universally Unique Identifier
(UUID).
The DUID is stored in
.Pa /var/db/dhcp6leased/uuid .
If the file does not exist or the UUID is not readable a new UUID is
generated.
.Pp
A running
.Nm
can be controlled with the
.Xr dhcp6leasectl 8
utility.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl d
Do not daemonize.
If this option is specified,
.Nm
will run in the foreground and log to
.Em stderr .
.It Fl f Ar file
Specify an alternative configuration file.
.It Fl n
Configtest mode.
Only check the configuration file for validity.
.It Fl s Ar socket
Use an alternate location for the default control socket.
.It Fl v
Produce more verbose output.
Multiple
.Fl v
options increase the verbosity.

.Xr dhcp6leasectl 8 .
.It Pa /etc/dhcp6leased.conf
Default

configuration file.
.It Pa /var/db/dhcp6leased/ Ns Aq Ar if
Interface specific lease files.
.It Pa /var/db/dhcp6leased/uuid
DUID to identify this client.
