💅 DUMPLEASES(1) — like, the manual page bestie

Okay so real talk, this is from the GNU/Linux Administrator's Manual, and it's the dumpleases page. Buckle up, it's short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic for how much it does with so little 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dumpleases — displays the leases that were granted by the udhcp server. That's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

dumpleases [OPTION]...

Yeah. That's the whole thing. Options, plural, optional. She's low maintenance like that ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So dumpleases displays the DHCP leases that were granted by udhcpd(8). Think of it as the receipts, bestie — who got what, and when. It's giving "let me check the group chat" but for IP addresses 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -a, --absolute — interprets the lease times as expiration time. So like, the actual moment it dies, not the countdown 🕐
• -f FILE, --file=FILE — reads the lease information from FILE instead of, y'know, the default. Main character energy: you decide where the tea comes from 💖
• -h, --help — displays help. The classic. She's always there for you 🫶
• -r, --remaining — interprets the lease times as remaining time. The countdown vibe check ⏳

Ngl, -a and -r are literally opposites. Pick your fighter, don't do both and then act surprised 😭

🎀 FILES 🎀

• /var/lib/misc/udhcpd.leases — the lease information file. That's where all the lore lives 🗂️

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

udhcpd(8), udhcpd.conf(5) — go read those too, they're the prequels fr fr 📚

And that's the whole page, babes. No cap, no filler 💜
