[c5c522c]1# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
[39a3656]2# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
[c5c522c]3# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
[39a3656]4# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
5# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
[c5c522c]6# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

9dhcp: dhcp (DHCP server and client utilities)
10dhcp:
11dhcp: This package provides the ISC's DHCP utilities, including both a
[39a3656]12dhcp: server and client. The DHCP protocol allows a host to contact a
[c5c522c]13dhcp: central server which maintains a list of IP addresses which may be
[39a3656]14dhcp: assigned on one or more subnets.  A DHCP client may request an
[c5c522c]15dhcp: address from this pool, and then use it temporarily for communication
[39a3656]16dhcp: on the network.  The DHCP protocol also provides a mechanism whereby
[c5c522c]17dhcp: a client can learn important details about the network to which it is
18dhcp: attached, such as the location of a default router or name server.
