Subject: [PATCH 3/6] dhcp: Add option type table and value parser
Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 18:49:59 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260518132002.418296-4-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260518132002.418296-3-anskuma@redhat.com>
Add an RFC 2132 type lookup table mapping DHCP option codes to their
expected value formats, and a dhcp_opt_parse() function that converts
CLI string values into their binary wire representation.
Wire dhcp_opt_parse() into the --dhcp-opt handler so that values are
validated and encoded at configuration time.
