NAME
       dhclient.leases - DHCP client lease database

DESCRIPTION
       The Internet Systems 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 occurrance.

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