Nope, but it starts:
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <net/if_dl.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include "dhcp.h"
char *progname;
...
Anyway, it seems the solution is to bring the netintro(4) page in line with
socket(2):
Index: netintro.4
