DHCLIENT.LEASES(5) FreeBSD File Formats Manual DHCLIENT.LEASES(5)

NAME
dhclient.leases -- DHCP client lease database

DESCRIPTION
The Internet Software Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent database
of leases that it has acquired that are still valid. The database is a
free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration per lease. If more
than one declaration appears for a given lease, the last one in the file
is used. The file is written as a log, so this is not an unusual occur-
rence.

The lease file is named dhclient.leases.IFNAME, where IFNAME represents
the network interface the DHCP client acquired the lease on. For exam-
ple, if dhclient(8) is configured for the em0 network device, the lease
file will be named dhclient.leases.em0.

The format of the lease declarations is described in dhclient.conf(5).

FILES
/var/db/dhclient.leases.IFNAME Current lease file.
