Subject: [PATCH v3 1/6] conf: Add --dhcp-opt command-line option
Date: Mon,  1 Jun 2026 13:07:51 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260601073758.1571317-2-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260601073758.1571317-1-anskuma@redhat.com>

Introduce the --dhcp-opt flag that allows setting arbitrary DHCP
options from command-line in the form of [Option CODE,VALUE].
This patch adds the option storage in struct ctx and CLI parsing;
the type-aware value parser and DHCP reply injection follow
in subsequent patches.

---
v3:
  - Added dhcp_add_option() helper in dhcp.c for storing options with
    duplicate-code detection.
  - case 33 now calls dhcp_add_option() instead of inline storage.

v2:
  - Added kerneldoc for @custom_opts, @custom_opts.code, @custom_opts.str, and @custom_opts_count in struct ctx
  - Removed len and val[255] fields from struct (moved to patch 3)
  - Removed braces from case 33, moved declarations (optcode, comma, end) to function scope
  - Renamed code → optcode to follow function-scope convention.
