1# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
2# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
3# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
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
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
12dhcp: server and client.  The DHCP protocol allows a host to contact a
13dhcp: central server which maintains a list of IP addresses which may be
14dhcp: assigned on one or more subnets.   A DHCP client may request an
15dhcp: address from this pool, and then use it temporarily for communication
16dhcp: on the network.   The DHCP protocol also provides a mechanism whereby
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.
