DHCLIENT.LEASES(5)	      File Formats Manual	    DHCLIENT.LEASES(5)

NAME
       dhclient.leases -- DHCP client lease database

DESCRIPTION
       The  Internet  Software Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent data-
       base of leases that it has acquired that	are still valid.  The database
       is a free-form ASCII file containing one	valid declaration  per	lease.
       If more than one	declaration appears for	a given	lease, the last	one in
       the  file is used.  The file is written as a log, so this is not	an un-
       usual occurrence.

       The lease file is named dhclient.leases.IFNAME, where IFNAME represents
       the network interface the DHCP client acquired the lease	on.  For exam-
       ple, if dhclient(8) is configured for the em0 network device, the lease
       file will be named dhclient.leases.em0.

       The format of the lease declarations is described in dhclient.conf(5).

FILES
       /var/db/dhclient.leases.IFNAME  Current lease file.

SEE ALSO

AUTHORS

       a contract with Vixie Labs.

       The   current   implementation	was   reworked	 by   Henning	Brauer
       <henning@openbsd.org>.
