PUMP (8)
configure network interface via BOOTP or DHCP protocol
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/pump [-krRsd?] [-c ARG] [-h hostname] [-i iface] [-l hours] [--lookup-hostname] [--usage]
DESCRIPTION
pump is a daemon that manages network interfaces that are
controlled by either the DHCP or BOOTP protocol.
While pump may be started manually, it is normally started
automatically by the /sbin/ifup script for devices configured
via BOOTP or DHCP.
Once pump is managing an interface, you can run pump to query
the status of that interface. For example,
\f(CW/sbin/pump -i eth0 --status
will print the current status of device eth0.
