Yup, note the 'c' in dhcpcd. Stands for client. And the binary behaves
like a daemon in the way that it disconnects from the terminal and keeps
running the way usual daemons do -> in the background. That's why there's
also a 'd' in it.
# sudo dhcpcd --help

Oops, perhaps I should have stated that I do *not* use @home. I am not
located in the United States, but in Switzerland, Europe.
Oh, incase it matters: I'm running potato.
