Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

dhcpcd is a DHCP and a DHCPv6 client. It's also an IPv4LL (aka ZeroConf) client. In layperson's terms, dhcpcd runs on your machine and silently configures your computer to work on the attached networks without trouble and mostly without configuration.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
