+.Sh NAME
+.Nm dhcpcd.conf
+.Nd dhcpcd configuration file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+Although
+.Nm dhcpcd
+can do everything from the command line, there are cases where it's just easier
+to do it once in a configuration file.
+Most of the options found in
+.Xr dhcpcd 8
+can be used here.
+The first word on the line is the option and the rest of the line is the value.
+Leading and trailing whitespace for the option and value are trimmed.
+You can escape characters in the value using the \\ character.
+.Pp
+Blank lines and lines starting with # are ignored.
+.Pp
+Here's a list of available options:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Ic background
+Background immediately.
+This is useful for startup scripts which don't disable link messages for
+carrier status.
+.It Ic clientid Ar string
+Change the default clientid sent from the interface hardware address.
+If the string is of the format 01:02:03 then it is encoded as hex.
+If not set then none is sent.
+.It Ic duid
+Generate an
+.Rs
+.%T "RFC 4361"
+.Re
+compliant clientid.
+This requires persistent storage and not all DHCP servers work with it so it's
+not enabled by default.
+The duid generated will be held in
+.Pa @SYSCONFDIR@/dhcpcd.duid
+and should not be copied to other hosts.
+.It Ic hostname Ar name
+Sends specified
+.Ar hostname
+to the DHCP server so it can be registered in DNS. If
+.Ar hostname
+if a FQDN (ie, contains a .) then it will be encoded as such.
+.It Ic fqdn Op none | ptr | both
+none disables FQDN encoding, ptr just asks the DHCP server to update the PTR
+record of the host in DNS whereas both also updates the A record.
+The current hostname or the hostname specified using the
+.Ic hostname
+option must be a FQDN.
+.Nm dhcpcd
+itself never does any DNS updates.
+.Nm dhcpcd
+encodes the FQDN hostname as specified in
+.Li RFC1035 .
+.It Ic interface Ar interface
+Subsequent options are only parsed for this
+.Ar interface .
+.It Ic leasetime Ar seconds
+Request a leasetime of
+.Ar seconds .
+.It Ic noarp
+Don't send any ARP requests.
+This also disables IPv4LL.
+.It Ic nogateway
+Don't install any default routes.
+.It Ic nohook Ar script
+Don't run this hook script.
+Matches full name, or prefixed with 2 numbers optionally ending with
+.Pa .sh .
+.It Ic noipv4ll
+Don't attempt to obtain an IPv4LL address if we failed to get one via DHCP.
+See
+.Rs
+.%T "RFC 3927"
+.Re
+.It Ic nolink
+Don't receive link messages about carrier status.
+You should only set this for buggy interface drivers.
+.It Ic option Ar option
+Requests the
+.Ar option
+from the server.
+It can be a variable to be used in
+.Xr dhcpcd-run-hooks 8
+or the numerical value.
+You can specify more options seperated by commas, spaces or more option lines.
+.It Ic require Ar option
+Requires the
+.Ar option
+to be present in all DHCP messages, otherwise the message is ignored.
+It can be a variable to be used in
+.Xr dhcpcd-run-hooks 8
+or the numerical value.
+You can specify more options seperated by commas, spaces or more require lines.
+.It Ic script Ar script
+Use
+.Ar script
+instead of the default
+.Pa @SCRIPT@ .
+.It Ic timeout Ar seconds
+The default timeout for waiting for a DHCP response is 30 seconds which may
+be too long or too short and can be changed here.
+.It Ic userclass Ar string
+Tag the DHCP messages with the userclass.
+You can specify more than one.
+.It Ic vendor Ar code , Ns Ar value
+Add an enscapulated vendor option.
+.Ar code
+should be between 1 and 254 inclusive.
+Examples.
+.Pp
+Set the vendor option 01 with an IP address.
+.D1 vendor 01,192.168.0.2
+Set the vendor option 02 with a hex code.
+.D1 vendor 02,01:02:03:04:05
+Set the vendor option 03 with an IP address as a string.
+.D1 vendor 03,\e"192.168.0.2\e"
+.It Ic vendorclassid Ar string
+Change the default vendorclassid sent from dhcpcd-version.
+If not set then none is sent.
