+.Sh NAME
+.Nm dhclient.leases
+.Nd DHCP client lease database
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The Internet Software Consortium DHCP client keeps a persistent
+database of leases that it has acquired that are still valid.
+The database is a free-form ASCII file containing one valid declaration
+per lease.
+If more than one declaration appears for a given lease,
+the last one in the file is used.
+The file is written as a log, so this is not an unusual occurrence.
+.Pp
+The lease file is named
+.Qq dhclient.leases.IFNAME ,
+where
+.Qq IFNAME
+represents the network interface the DHCP client acquired the lease on.
+For example, if
+.Xr dhclient 8
+is configured for the em0 network device,
+the lease file will be named
+.Qq dhclient.leases.em0 .
+.Pp
+The format of the lease declarations is described in
+.Xr dhclient.conf 5 .
