The kea-ctrl-agent provides a REST service for
controlling Kea services. The received HTTP requests are decapsulated
and forwarded to the respective Kea services in JSON format. Received
JSON responses are encapsulated within HTTP responses and returned to
the controlling entity. Some commands may be handled by the Control
Agent directly, and not forwarded to any Kea service.
ARGUMENTSThe arguments are as follows:
Display the version.

Display the configuration report.
Verbose mode sets the logging level to debug. This is primarily
for development purposes in stand-alone mode.
Configuration file including the configuration for the Control Agent
server. It may also contain configuration entries for other Kea
services.

first error if any. Note that not all parameters are
completely checked, in particular, service and client
sockets are not opened, and hook libraries are not loaded.
