The DHCP client normally gets its configuration information from
.B ETCDIR/dhclient.conf,
its lease database from
-.B DBDIR/dhclient.leases
-and stores its process ID in a file called
-.B RUNDIR/dhclient.pid.
+.B DBDIR/dhclient.leases,
+stores its process ID in a file called
+.B RUNDIR/dhclient.pid,
+and configures the network interface using
+.B CLIENTBINDIR/dhclient-script
To specify different names and/or locations for these files, use the
.B -cf,
-.B -lf
-and
+.B -lf,
.B -pf
+and
+.B -sf
flags, respectively, followed by the name of the file. This can be
particularly useful if, for example,
