In almost every case, if you don't know the right man page, apropos (or man -k) will help you find it. If that's not good enough, man -K dhclient will eventually find all of them. dhclient (8) - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client dhclient-script (8) - DHCP client network configuration script dhclient.conf (5) - DHCP client configuration file dhclient.leases (5) - DHCP client lease database alternatively, you could run dpkg -L isc-dhcp-client|grep man; to see all of the manpages that the dhcp client provides: /usr/share/man/man5/dhclient.conf.5.gz /usr/share/man/man5/dhclient.leases.5.gz /usr/share/man/man8/dhclient-script.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/dhclient.8.gz -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com Those who begin coercive elimination of dissent soon find themselves exterminating dissenters.
