+.SH USAGE
+When an event occurs,
+.B udhcpc
+executes a script.  There are four possible arguments to this
+script:
+.TP
+.B deconfig
+.B deconfig
+is used when
+.B udhcpc
+starts, and when a lease is lost.  The script should put the
+interface in an up, but deconfigured, state.
+.TP
+.B bound
+.B bound
+is used when
+.B udhcpc
+moves from an unbound to a bound state.  The script should
+configure the interface and set any other relevant parameters
+(e.g., default gateway, dns server, etc.).
+.TP
+.B renew
+.B renew
+is used when
+.B udhcpc
+when a lease is renewed.  The interface is already
+configured, so the IP address will not change.  Other parameters
+(e.g., default gateway, subnet mask, dns server) may.
+.TP
+.B nak
+.B nak
+is used when
+.B udhcpc
+receieves a NAK packet from the server. The
+enviromental variable
+.B $message
+will contain the reason for the
+NAK message if the server included one. Processing this message
+is optional, as the script will also be called with deconfig if
+need be.
