NAME
     radns - Resolving DNS Server Client for IPv6.

SYNOPSIS
     radns  [  -v [ -v ] [ -v ] ] [ -f path to resolv file ] [ -l maximum number
     of domain suffixes in search list ] [ -m maximum  number  of  resolver  ad-
     dresses ] [ -u user ] [ -s path to script ] [ -p path to pidfile ]

DESCRIPTION
     radns  listens for IPv6 Router Advertisements with the Recursive DNS Server
     (RDNSS) option and stores the address(es) in a file in the same  syntax  as
     resolv.conf(5). It optionally starts a script when it receives a Router Ad-
     vertisement.

OPTIONS
     -V     prints version information and quits the program.

     -v     turns  on  verbose	mode and gives more debug output. Also stops the
	    process from becoming a daemon. Repeated -v increases verbosity.

     -f path to resolv file
	    specifies the filename to write the IPv6 addresses	to.  Default  is
	    "./resolv.conf".

     Note  that the radns user needs write access to the directory since it will
     create a temporary working file and rename it to whatever	you  specify  as
     the resolv file. Typically you use something like /etc/radns/ra-resolv.conf
     as the resolv file with /etc/radns being writable by the radns user.

     If  radns	is run on an IPv6-only machine, with no dual-stack, you may want
     to make /etc/resolv.conf a symbolic link to /etc/radns/ra-resolv.conf.

     -l maximum number of domain suffixes in search list specifies
	    the number of domain suffixes to store after the search  keyword  in
	    the  resolv.conf file. 0 is a special case meaning an unlimited num-
	    ber. The default is 6.

     -m maximum number of resolver addresses
	    specifies the number of resolver  addresses  to  store  in	the  re-
	    solv.conf file. 0 is a special case meaning an unlimited number. The
	    default is 3.

     -u username
	    specifies the user to drop privileges to. Default is radns.

     -s path to script
	    specifies  a program to run after receiving new addresses to DNS re-
	    solvers. Default is not to run a script.

     -p path to pidfile
	    specifies a path to a file to write the process ID into for  process
	    management purposes. Default is "/var/run/radns.pid".
