It runs as a separate process that expects to receive Name Change Requests from Kea DHCP servers. Arguments ~~~~~~~~~ The arguments are as follows: ``-v`` Displays the version. ``-V`` Displays the extended version. ``-W`` Displays the configuration report. ``-d`` Sets the logging level to debug with extra verbosity. This is primarily for development purposes in stand-alone mode. ``-c config-file`` Specifies the configuration file with the configuration for the DHCP-DDNS server. It may also contain configuration entries for other Kea services. ``-t config-file`` Checks the syntax of the configuration file and reports the first error, if any. Note that not all parameters are completely checked; in particular, a service socket is not opened. Documentation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kea comes with an extensive Kea Administrator Reference Manual that covers all aspects of running the Kea software - compilation, installation, configuration, configuration examples, and much more. Kea also features a Kea Messages Manual, which lists all possible messages Kea can print with a brief description for each of them. Both documents are available in various formats (.txt, .html, .pdf) with the Kea distribution. The Kea documentation is available at https://kea.readthedocs.io. Kea source code is documented in the Kea Developer's Guide, available at https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/. The Kea project website is available at https://kea.isc.org. Mailing Lists and Support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There are two public mailing lists available for the Kea project. **kea-users** (kea-users at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea users, while **kea-dev** (kea-dev at lists.isc.org) is intended for Kea developers, prospective contributors, and other advanced users. Both lists are available at https://lists.isc.org. The community provides best-effort support on both of those lists. ISC provides professional support for Kea services. See https://www.isc.org/kea/ for details. History ~~~~~~~ The ``b10-dhcp-ddns`` process was first coded in May 2013 by Thomas Markwalder. Kea became a standalone server and the BIND 10 framework was removed. The DHCP-DDNS server binary was renamed to kea-dhcp-ddns in July 2014. Kea 1.0.0 was released in December 2015.
