DHCLIENT.LEASES(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual DHCLIENT.LEASES(5) NAME dhclient.leases -- DHCP client lease database DESCRIPTION The Internet Software Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent database 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 unusual occur- rence. 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 dhclient.conf(5), dhcp-options(5), dhcpd.conf(5), dhclient(8), dhcpd(8) RFC 2132, RFC 2131. AUTHORS The dhclient(8) utility was written by Ted Lemon <mellon@vix.com> under a contract with Vixie Labs. The current implementation was reworked by Henning Brauer <henning@openbsd.org>.
