+.Sh NAME
+.Nm rtadvd.conf
+.Nd config file for router advertisement daemon
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The file describes how the router advertisement packet must be constructed
+for each of the interfaces.
+.Pp
+It obeys famous
+.Xr termcap 5
+file format.
+Each line in the file describes a network interface.
+Fields are separated by a colon
+.Po
+.Dq \&:
+.Pc ,
+and each field contains one capability description.
+Lines may be concatenated by \e character.
+The comment marker is `#' character.
+.Pp
+.Sh CAPABILITIES
+Capabilities describe the value to be filled into ICMPv6 router
+advertisement message and to control
+.Xr rtadvd 8
+behavior.
+Therefore, you are encouraged to read IETF neighbor discovery documents
+if you would like to modify sample configuration file.
+.Pp
+Note that almost all items have default values.
+If you omit an item, the default value of the item will be used.
+.Pp
+There are two items to control interval of sending router advertisements.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Cm \&maxinterval
+(num) The maximum time allowed between sending unsolicited
+multicast router advertisements
+.Pq unit: seconds .
+The default value is 600. Its value must be no less than 4 seconds
+and no greater than 1800 seconds.
+.It Cm \&mininterval
+(num) The minimum time allowed between sending unsolicited multicast
+router advertisements
+.Pq unit: seconds .
+The default value is the one third of value of
+.Ic maxinterval.
+Its value must be no less than 3 seconds and no greater than .75 *
+the value of
+.Ic maxinterval.
+.El
+.Pp
+The following items are for ICMPv6 router advertisement message
+header.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Cm \&chlim
+(num) The value for Cur Hop Limit field.
+The default value is 64.
+.It Cm \&raflags
+(num) Flags field in router advertisement message header.
+Bit 7
+.Po
+.Li 0x80
+.Pc
+means Managed address configuration flag bit,
+and Bit 6
+.Po
+.Li 0x40
+.Pc
+means Other stateful configuration flag bit.
+The default value is 0.
+.It Cm \&rltime
+(num) Router lifetime field
+.Pq unit: seconds .
+Its value must be no greater than 3600000.
+The default value is 1800.
+.It Cm \&rtime
+(num) Reachable time field
+.Pq unit: milliseconds .
+The default value is 0, which means unspecified by this router.
+.It Cm \&retrans
+(num) Retrans Timer field
+.Pq unit: milliseconds .
+The default value is 0, which means unspecified by this router.
+.El
+.Pp
+The following items are for ICMPv6 prefix information option,
+which will be attached to router advertisement header.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Cm \&addrs
+(num) Number of prefixes.
+Its default is 0, so it must explicitly be set to positve values
+if you want to specify any prefix information option.
+If its value is 0,
+.Xr rtadvd 8
+looks up the system routing table and
+advertise the prefixes corresponding to interface routes
+on the interface.
+If its value is more than 1, you must specify the index of the prefix
+for each item below.
+Indices vary from 0 to N-1, where N is the
+value of
+.Ic addrs.
+Each index shall follows the name of each item, e.g.
+.Dq prefixlen2 .
+.It Cm \&prefixlen
+(num) Prefix length field.
+The default value is 64.
+.It Cm \&pinfoflags
+(num) Flags field in prefix information option.
+Bit 7
+.Po
+.Li 0x80
+.Pc
+means On-link flag bit,
+and Bit 6
+.Po
+.Li 0x40
+.Pc
+means Autonomous address-configuration flag bit.
+The default value is 0xc0, i.e. both bits are set.
+.It Cm \&addr
+(str) The address filled into Prefix field.
+Since
+.Dq \&:
+is used for
+.Xr termcap 5
+file format as well as IPv6 numeric address, the field MUST be quoted by
+doublequote character.
+This field cannot be
+omitted if the value of
+.Ic addrs
+is more than 0.
+.It Cm \&vltime
+(num) Valid lifetime field
+.Pq unit: seconds .
+The default value is 2592000(30 days).
+.It Cm \&pltime
+(num) Preferred lifetime field
+.Pq unit: seconds .
+The default value is 604800(7 days).
+.El
+.Pp
+The following items are for ICMPv6 MTU option,
+which will be attached to router advertisement header.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Cm \&mtu
+(num or str) MTU (maximum transmission unit) field.
+If 0 is specified, it means that the option will not be included.
+The default value is 0. If the special string
+.Dq auto
+is specified for this item, MTU option will be included and its value
+will be set to the interface MTU automatically.
+.El
+.Pp
+The following item controls ICMPv6 source link-layer address option,
+which will be attached to router advertisement header.
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Cm \&nolladdr
+(bool) By default
+.Po
+if
+.Cm \&nolladdr
+is not specified
+.Pc ,
+.Xr rtadvd 8
+will try to get link-layer address for the interface from the kernel,
+and attach that in source link-layer address option.
+If this capability exists,
+.Xr rtadvd 8
+will not attach source link-layer address option to
+router advertisement packets.
+.El
+.Pp
+You can also refer one line from another by using
+.Cm tc
+capability.
+See
+.Xr termcap 5
+for details on the capability.
