+
+The 'duckdns' protocol is used by the free
+dynamic DNS service offered by www.duckdns.org.
+Check http://www.duckdns.org/install.jsp?tab=linux-cron for API
+
+Configuration variables applicable to the 'duckdns' protocol are:
+  protocol=duckdns               ##
+  server=www.fqdn.of.service   ## defaults to www.duckdns.org
+  password=service-password    ## password (token) registered with the service
+  non-fully.qualified.host         ## the host registered with the service.
+
+Example ${program}.conf file entries:
+  ## single host update
+  protocol=duckdns,                                       \\
