It is +capable of handling requests over both IPv4 and IPv6. +.P +When called without arguments, \fBicmpdnd\fP will answer requests with +the host name that is specified in the operating system through the +\fBsethostname\fP(2) and \fBsetdomainname\fP(2) calls. On GNU/Linux, +these are normally called by the \fBhostname\fP(1) program. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B -h +Print a brief usage message and exit. +.TP +.B -n +Do not daemonize, but continue to run on the calling terminal. +.TP +.B -t +Set the TTL (Time-to-Live) value in responses to \fIttl\fP seconds, +rather than the default of 3600 seconds. +.TP +.B -d +Set the domain name in responses to \fIdomainname\fP, rather than the +default as described above. This option is useful in case the system +is not configured to set up its own hostname. +.SH AUTHOR +Fredrik Tolf +.SH SEE ALSO +\fBidnlookup\fP(1), \fBhostname\fP(1), \fIRFC 1788\fP
