2.4. dhclient.leases --- DHCP client lease database¶
2.4.1. Description¶
dhclient(8) keeps a persistent database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid. This database is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration per lease. The file is written as a log, so it is not unusual to find multiple declarations for the same lease. If more than one declaration appears for a given lease, the last one in the file is used.
The format of the lease declarations is described in dhclient.conf(5).
2.4.2. Files¶
/var/lib/lease/dhclient.leases
The client leases file.
