OPTIONS

19       command
20           Command to be issued to the servers. It can be one of the
21           following:
22
23           lease-init
24               Initializes a new lease database. Useful during first Kea
25               installation. The database is initialized to the latest version
26               supported by the version of the software.
27
28           lease-version
29               Reports lease database version. This is not necessarily equal
30               to Kea version as each backend has its own versioning scheme.
31
32           lease-upgrade
33               Conducts lease database upgrade. This is useful when migrating
34               between old and new Kea versions.

37               Dumps the contents of the lease database (MySQL and PostgreSQL
38               backends) to text file. The content of the file consists of
39               comma-separated-values (CSV) where each line in the file
40               contains all of the values for a single lease. The first line
41               of file is a header line containing the column names.
