Description: DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 dual-stack client (binaries and exit hooks)
dhcpcd provides seamless IPv4 and IPv6 auto-configuration:
* DHCPv4 client
* DHCPv6 client with Prefix Delegation (PD) support
* IPv4 LL support (ZeroConf)
* IPv6 SLAAC support
* ARP address conflict resolution
* ARP ping profiles
* Wireless SSID profiles
.
This package provides the binaries, exit hooks and manual pages.
.
It offers a dual-stack substitute for ISC DHCP Client (dhclient) on systems
where interfaces are configured by ifupdown via
using the DHCP method.
.
The init.d script and systemd service required for systems without ifupdown
are packaged separately as dhcpcd.
.
Since Debian 12 (Bookworm), dhcpcd uses Predictable Network Interface Names
on Linux ports. See NEWS.Debian for more details.
