.Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl Ddf .Op Fl H Ar hoplim .Ar interface
.Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm acts as an intermediary to deliver DHCPv6 messages between clients and servers, and is on the same link as a client.
.Nm needs a command line argument .Ar interface , which specifies the link.
p
Options supported by
.Nm
are:
l -tag -width Ds t Fl d Print debugging messages.
t Fl D Even more debugging information is printed.
t Fl f Foreground mode (useful when debugging).
Although

it prints the messages to standard error if this option is
specified.
t Fl H Ar hoplim The option specifies the hop limit of DHCPv6 Solicit messages forwarded to
servers.
