The arguments are as follows:

-v

Displays the Kea version.

-V

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

Early prototypes of kea-netconf implementation were written during IETF Hackathons in Berlin, London, and Montreal. An actual production-ready implementation was started in August 2018 by Tomek Mrugalski and Francis Dupont.
