DHCPM(8)

NAME
dhcpm - DHCP (BOOTP) message monitoring tool

SYNOPSIS
dhcpm interface [ dumpfile ]

DESCRIPTION
dhcpm receives DHCP (BOOTP) messages from interface, and prints out them to standard output. If you specify dumpfile, dhcpm prints out DHCP messages to dumpfile instead of standard output.

BUGS
dhcpm doesn't print out all of the DHCP message. It should print out more information in the later version.

It is better to read /etc/services to know a port number which should be monitored. But dhcpm doesn't read it, so it is required to recompile to change the port number.
