What you really need on the top of the man page is an example of how to
use this in daily life.
Apparently one does
# dhcpcd5 wlxf428530bfc87
Browse Browse Browse for a few hours. Oh, time for bed.
# dhcpcd5 -k wlxf428530bfc87
Wait, I forgot to email Georgio
# dhcpcd5 wlxf428530bfc87
...
RM> Also see the -x and -M options and the section on Multiple interfaces.
I don't know if I should use -x or -k in daily life.
RM> A patch for better wording would be welcome :)
RM> Because you started dhcpcd on interface wlxf428530bfc87 without -M, all
RM> exit operations need to be given the same interface.
Well then all I know is saying
> -k, --release [interface]
> This causes an existing dhcpcd process running on the interface

is wrong!
Also
> # dhcpcd5 -k
> dhcpcd not running
Should say
"dhcpcd not running on interface '' but maybe running on other interfaces."
or something.
RM> The idea was that the dhcpcd package (@ version 3 iirc) would be retired
Oh I see...
