<title>Introduction to dhcpcd</title>
<para><application>dhcpcd</application> is an implementation of the
DHCP client specified in RFC2131. A DHCP client is useful for connecting
your computer to a network which uses DHCP to assign network
addresses. dhcpcd strives to be a fully featured, yet very lightweight

<para id="dhcpcd-config3">The default behavior of

overwrites <filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> and

These modifications to system files and settings on system
configuration files are done by hooks which are stored in <filename
class="directory">/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks</filename>.
Setup <command>dhcpcd</command> by removing or adding hooks from/to
that directory. The execution of hooks can be disabled by using the
<option>--nohook</option> (<option>-C</option>) command line option or
by the <option>nohook</option> option in the
