I proposed deleting -c altogether, and using -x 61:hexstring
to specify client id.
To make it easier for users to see how to use -x,
help text can have examples added to it:
# ./busybox udhcpc --help
BusyBox v1.18.0.git (2010-10-20 13:29:07 CEST) multi-call binary.
Usage: udhcpc [-fbnqvoCR] [-i IFACE] [-r IP] [-s PROG] [-p PIDFILE]
[-H HOSTNAME] [-V VENDOR] [-x OPT:VAL]... [-O OPT]... [-P N]
-i,--interface IFACE Interface to use (default eth0)
-p,--pidfile FILE Create pidfile
-r,--request IP IP address to request
-s,--script PROG Run PROG at DHCP events (default
/usr/share/udhcpc/default.script)
-t,--retries N Send up to N discover packets
-T,--timeout N Pause between packets (default 3 seconds)
-A,--tryagain N Wait N seconds after failure (default 20)
-f,--foreground Run in foreground
-b,--background Background if lease is not obtained
-S,--syslog Log to syslog too
-n,--now Exit if lease is not obtained
-q,--quit Exit after obtaining lease
-R,--release Release IP on exit
-P,--client-port N Use port N (default 68)
-a,--arping Use arping to validate offered address
-O,--request-option OPT Request option OPT from server (cumulative)
-o,--no-default-options Don't request any options (unless -O is given)
-x OPT:VAL Include option OPT in sent packets (cumulative)
Examples: -x hostname:bbox -x 61:0100ffee11cc55
-F,--fqdn NAME Ask server to update DNS mapping for NAME
-H,-h,--hostname NAME Send NAME as client hostname (default none)
-V,--vendorclass VENDOR Vendor identifier (default 'udhcp VERSION')
-C,--clientid-none Don't send MAC as client identifier
-v Verbose
Does this look ok? Is help text sufficiently clear?
