.Sh NAME
.Nm slaacd
.Nd Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) daemon
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl dv
.Op Fl s Ar socket
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) daemon for clients.
If an interface has the
.Sy AUTOCONF6
flag set
(auto configuration is enabled),
.Nm
regularly sends out requests for IPv6 router advertisement messages,
such as those sent by
.Xr rad 8 ,
and uses those messages to configure the relevant interface.
.Pp
See
.Xr hostname.if 5
and
.Xr ifconfig 8
on how to enable auto configuration on an interface.
.Pp
.Nm
monitors network interface states
(interface going up or down, auto configuration enabled or disabled, etc.)\&
and sends router solicitations when necessary.
A running
.Nm
can be controlled with the
.Xr slaacctl 8
utility.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl d
Do not daemonize.
If this option is specified,
.Nm
will run in the foreground and log to
.Em stderr .
.It Fl s Ar socket
Use an alternate location for the default control socket.
.It Fl v
Produce more verbose output.
Multiple
.Fl v
options increase the verbosity.
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width "/dev/slaacd.sockXX" -compact
.It Pa /dev/slaacd.sock
.Ux Ns -domain
socket used for communication with
.Xr slaacctl 8 .
