This program updates configuration files which contain a CIDR of your IPv6 network. An example would be smb.conf under the hosts allow option. If an update is made on this file, you may want to reload the smb unit. This application is fully controlled by settings.

You may want this to run periodically if your ISP uses DHCPv6 and may change the IP randomly (or when the lease expires).

Settings

Located in XDG location such as ~/.config/Tatsh/ipv6-config-update.conf. If running as root, /etc/ipv6-config-update.conf will be used.
