I wouldn't have known it unless Roy himself had told me, and pointing
out that its mentioned in the manpage. (something we should add to our
wiki so googles indexer finds it?).

=46rom the man page:

     static value
             Configures a static value.  If you set ip_address then
     dhcpcd will not attempt to obtain a lease and just use the value
     for the address with an infinite lease time.

             Here is an example which configures a static address,
             routes and dns.
                   interface eth0
                   static ip_address=3D192.168.0.10/24
                   static routers=3D192.168.0.1
                   static domain_name_servers=3D192.168.0.1


Looks like it also has some support for ipv6. I dont know about static.
