+``kea-dhcp6`` - DHCPv6 server in Kea
+------------------------------------
+
+Synopsis
+~~~~~~~~
+
+:program:`kea-dhcp6` [**-v**] [**-V**] [**-W**] [**-d**] [**-c** config-file] [**-t** config-file] [**-p** server-port-number] [**-P** client-port-number]
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``kea-dhcp6`` daemon provides the DHCPv6 server implementation.
+
+Arguments
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The arguments are as follows:
+
+``-v``
+ Displays the version.
+
+``-V``
+ Displays the extended version.
+
+``-W``
+ Displays the configuration report.
+
+``-d``
+ Enables the debug mode with extra verbosity.
+
+``-c config-file``
+ Specifies the configuration file with the configuration for the DHCPv6 server. It
+ may also contain configuration entries for other Kea services.
+
+``-t config-file``
+ Checks the configuration file and reports the first error, if any. Note
+ that not all parameters are completely checked; in particular,
+ service and control channel sockets are not opened, and hook
+ libraries are not loaded.
+
+``-T config-file``
+ Checks the configuration file and reports the first error, if any.
+ It performs extra checks beyond what -t offers, such as establishing
+ database connections (for the lease backend, host reservations backend,
+ configuration backend, and forensic logging backend), loading hook libraries,
+ parsing hook-library configurations, etc. It does not open UNIX or TCP/UDP sockets, nor
+ does it open or rotate files, as any of these actions could interfere with
+ a running process on the same machine.
+
+``-p server-port-number``
+ Specifies the server port number (1-65535) on which the server listens. This is
+ useful for testing purposes only.
+
+``-P client-port-number``
+ Specifies the client port number (1-65535) to which the server responds. This is
+ useful for testing purposes only.
+
+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
+https://www.isc.org/kea/ for details.
+
+History
+~~~~~~~
+
+The ``b10-dhcp6`` daemon was first coded in June 2011 by Tomek
+Mrugalski.
+
+In mid-2014, Kea was decoupled from the BIND 10 framework and became a
+standalone DHCP server. The DHCPv6 server binary was renamed to
+``kea-dhcp6``. Kea 1.0.0 was released in December 2015.
