+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``kea-admin`` is a shell script that offers database maintenance. In
+particular, it features database initialization, database version
+checking, and database schema upgrading.
+
+Arguments
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+``command``
+ Specifies the command to be issued to the servers. It can be one of the
+ following:
+
+ ``db-init``
+ Initializes a new database schema. This is useful during a new Kea
+ installation. The database is initialized to the latest version
+ supported by the version of the software being installed.
+
+ ``db-version``
+ Reports the database backend version number. This is not necessarily
+ equal to the Kea version number, as each backend has its own
+ versioning scheme.
+
+ ``db-upgrade``
+ Conducts a database schema upgrade. This is useful when upgrading Kea.
+
+ ``lease-dump``
+ Dumps the contents of the lease database (for MySQL or
+ PostgreSQL backends) to a CSV (comma-separated values) text file. (Support
+ for the Cassandra backend has been deprecated.)
+ The first line of the file contains the column names. This can be used
+ as a way to switch from a database backend to a memfile backend.
+ Alternatively, it can be used as a diagnostic tool, so it provides a
+ portable form of the lease data.
+
+ ``lease-upload``
+ Uploads leases from a CSV (comma-separated values) text file to a MySQL or
+ a PostgreSQL lease database. The CSV file needs to be in memfile format.
+
+ ``stats-recount``
+ Recounts lease statistics for a MySQL or PostgreSQL database.
+
+``backend``
+ Specifies the backend type. Currently allowed backends are: memfile,
+ mysql, and pgsql; cql has been deprecated.
+
+``-h|--host hostname``
+ Specifies the hostname when connecting to a database.
+ The default value is ``localhost``.
+
+``-P|--port port``
+ Specifies the port when connecting to a database. If not specified,
+ the default value chosen by the database client is used.
+
+``-u|--user username``
+ Specifies the username when connecting to a database.
+ The default value is ``keatest``.
+
+``-p|--password password``
+ Specifies the password when connecting to a database.
+ If only ``-p`` or ``--password`` is given, the user is prompted for a password.
+ If not specified at all, the ``KEA_ADMIN_DB_PASSWORD`` environment variable
+ is checked for a value and used if it exists.
+ Otherwise the default value of ``keatest`` is used.
+
+``-n|--name database-name``
+ Specifies the name of the database to connect to. The
+ default value is ``keatest``.
+
+``-d|--directory script-directory``
+ Specifies the override scripts directory. That script is used during
+ upgrades, database initialization, and possibly other operations.
+ The default value is ``(prefix)/share/kea/scripts/``.
+
+``-o|--output output_file``
+ Specifies the file to which the lease data will be dumped. Required for
+ ``lease-dump``.
+
+``-v|--version``
+ Prints the ``kea-admin`` version and quits.
+
+``-4``
+ Directs ``kea-admin`` to lease-dump the DHCPv4 leases. Incompatible with
+ the -6 option.
+
+``-6``
+ Directs ``kea-admin`` to lease-dump the DHCPv6 leases. Incompatible with
+ the -4 option.
+
+``-x|--extra``
+ Specifies an extra argument to pass to the database command tool e.g.
+ to invoke ``mysql`` with the ``--ssl`` argument. This can be repeated
+ to pass more than one argument. Quotes are not preserved. Avoid commands
+ containing spaces.
+
+``-y|--yes``
+ Assume yes on overwriting temporary files.
+
+Documentation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Kea comes with an extensive Kea Administrator Reference Manual that covers
+all aspects of running the Kea software - compilation, installation,
+configuration, configuration examples, and much more. Kea also features a
+Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea can print
+with a brief description for each of them. Both documents are
+available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf) with the Kea
+distribution. The Kea documentation is available at
+https://kea.readthedocs.io.
+
+Kea source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide,
+available at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/.
+
+The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org.
+
+Mailing Lists and Support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There are two public mailing lists available for the Kea project. **kea-users**
+(kea-users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while **kea-dev**
+(kea-dev at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea developers, prospective
+contributors, and other advanced users. Both lists are available at
+https://lists.isc.org. The community provides best-effort support
+on both of those lists.
+
+ISC provides professional support for Kea services. See
