+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl c Ar configfile
+.Op Fl Ddfi
+.Op Fl p Ar pid-file
+.Ar interface
+.Op Ar interfaces...
+.\"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+works as a DHCPv6 client and gets information from DHCPv6 servers
+to configure the specified
+.Ar interface .
+Multiple
+.Ar interfaces
+can be specified separated by spaces or tabs,
+in which case
+.Nm
+will work on all the interfaces simultaneously.
+.Pp
+The command line options are:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.\"
+.It Fl c Ar configfile
+Use
+.Ar configfile
+as the configuration file.
+.It Fl d
+Print debugging messages.
+.It Fl D
+Even more debugging information is printed.
+.It Fl f
+Foreground mode (useful when debugging).
+Although
+.Nm
+usually prints warning, debugging, or error messages to
+.Xr syslog 8 ,
+it prints the messages to standard error if this option is
+specified.
+.It Fl i
+Info-req mode.  In this mode, stateless DHCPv6 is executed with the folllowing configuration, and the obtained info is written to stdout.  After this output,
+.Nm
+is terminated.  (suits for a use in shell-script etc).
+.Bd -literal -offset
+ interface (interface given in the argument) {
+	information-only;
+	script (a script which displays the received information to stdout);
+ };
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Since the configuration is internally generated, you cannot provide a configuration in this mode.  If you want to have different actions for the stateless DHCPv6 information, you should write an appropriate configuration and invoke
+.Nm
+without this option.
+.It Fl p Ar pid-file
+Use
+.Ar pid-file
+to dump the process ID of
+.Nm .
+.El
+.Pp
+The program will daemonize itself on invocation unless the
+.Fl f
+or
+.Fl i
+option is specified.
+.Pp
+Upon receipt of the
+.Dv SIGHUP
+or
+.Dv SIGTERM
+signals,
+.Nm
+will remove all stateful resources from the system.
+In the former case the daemon will then reinvoke itself,
+while it will stop running in the latter case.
+In either case,
+.Nm
+will send DHCPv6 Release messages to release resources assigned from servers.
+.\"
+.Sh FILES
+.Bl -tag -width /usr/local/etc/dhcp6c.conf -compact
+.It Pa /var/run/dhcp6c.pid
+is the default file that contains pid of the currently running
+.Nm dhcp6c .
+.It Pa /usr/local/etc/dhcp6c.conf
+is the default configuration file.
+.It Pa /var/db/dhcp6c_duid
+is the file to store the client's DUID.
+.El
+.Sh Configuration Script
+When
+.Nm
+receives a reply message,
+it will invoke a supplementary configuration script specified in the
+.Xr dhcp6c.conf 5
+file.
+The daemon will provide the script with configuration parameters as
+environment variables,
+which include:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -compact
+.It Ic REASON
+The reason why the script is invoked.
+As of this writing,
+the value is always
+\(dqNBI\(dq
+and thus meaningless.
+.It Ic new_domain_name_servers
+A list of available DNS servers,
+each of which is an IPv6 numeric address and is separated by a white
+space character.
+.It Ic new_domain_name
+A list of DNS names,
+which provides DNS name search path.
+.It Ic new_ntp_servers
+A list of available NTP servers,
+each of which is an IPv6 numeric address and is separated by a white
+space character.
+.It Ic new_sip_servers
+A list of available SIP server addresses,
+each of which is an IPv6 numeric address and is separated by a white
+space character.
+.It Ic new_sip_name
+A list of SIP server domain names.
+.It Ic new_nis_servers
+A list of available NIS server addresses,
+each of which is an IPv6 numeric address and is separated by a white
+space character.
+.It Ic new_nis_name
+A list of NIS domain names.
+.It Ic new_nisp_servers
+A list of available NIS+ server addresses,
+each of which is an IPv6 numeric address and is separated by a white
+space character.
+.It Ic new_nisp_name
+A list of NIS+ domain names.
+.It Ic new_bcmcs_servers
+A list of available BCMCS server addresses,
+each of which is an IPv6 numeric address and is separated by a white
+space character.
+.It Ic new_bcmcs_name
+A list of BCMCS server domain names.
+.El
+.Pp
+Note that the daemon does not always provide all the parameters.
+It sets an environment variable only when the corresponding
+configuration parameter is provided by the DHCPv6 server.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command first appeared in WIDE/KAME IPv6 protocol stack kit.
+.\"
+.Sh BUGS
+.Nm
+is incomplete and violates DHCPv6 protocol spec, in several aspects.
+In particular, temporary address assignment is intentionally omitted.
+.Pp
+Information Refresh Time Option is not recognied in Info-req mode, since
+.Nm
+terminates after it receives a REPLY message.
