Suggestions on how to improve the man page are welcome :)

If dhcpcd is started on a single interface without the -M switch then it
will ONLY operate on that interface and all calls that send signals (-k,
-x, -n, -N) if subsequent dhcpcd invocations ONLY specify that interface.

If none or more than one interfaces are given, or the -M switch is
given, then dhcpcd will operate on the global context for the listed
interfaces, or all if none specified.
