        supersede { [ option declaration ] [, ... option declara-
       tion ]}

       If  for  some  set of options the client should always use
       its own value  rather  than  any  value  supplied  by  the
       server,  these  values  can  be  defined  in the supersede
       statement.

       The prepend statement

        prepend { [ option declaration ] [, ...  option  declara-
       tion ]}

       If  for  some set of options the client should use a value
       you supply, and  then  use  the  values  supplied  by  the
       server, if any, these values can be defined in the prepend
       statement.   The prepend statement can only  be  used  for
       options  which  allow  more  than  one  value to be given.
       This restriction  is  not  enforced  -  if  violated,  the
       results are unpredictable.

       The append statement

        append { [ option declaration ] [, ... option declaration
       ]}

       If for some set of options the client should first use the

                                                                4

dhclient.conf(5)                                 dhclient.conf(5)

       values supplied by the server, if any, and then use values
       you supply, these values can  be  defined  in  the  append
       statement.    The  append  statement  can only be used for
       options which allow more  than  one  value  to  be  given.
       This  restriction  is not enforced - if you ignore it, the
       behaviour will be unpredictable.
