9compile time options
10-------------------
11
12The Makefile contains three of the compile time options:
13
14 DEBUG: If DEBUG is defined, udhcpd will output extra debugging
15 output, compile with -g, and not fork to the background when run.
16 SYSLOG: If SYSLOG is defined, udhcpd will log all its messages
17 syslog, otherwise, it will attempt to log them to stdout.
18
19 COMBINED_BINARY: If COMBINED_BINARY is define, one binary, udhcpd,
20 is created. If called as udhcpd, the dhcp server will be started.
21 If called as udhcpc, the dhcp client will be started.
22
23dhcpd.h contains the other two compile time options:
24
25 LEASE_TIME: The default lease time if not specified in the config
26 file.
27
28 DHCPD_CONFIG_FILE: The defualt config file to use.
29
30options.c contains a set of dhcp options for the client:
31
32 name[10]: The name of the option as it will appear in scripts
33
34 flags: The type of option, as well as if it will be requested
35 by the client (OPTION_REQ)
36
37 code: The DHCP code for this option

41--------------
42udhcp is now a drop-in component for busybox (http://busybox.net).
43To update busybox to the latest revision, simply do a:
44
45cp *.[ch] README AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog TODO \
46 <busybox_source>/networking/udhcp
47
48The only two files udhcp does not provide are config.in and
49Makefile.in, so these may need to be updated from time to time.
