Subject: [PATCH 1/3] conf: Add --dhcpv6-opt command-line option
Date: Thu,  4 Jun 2026 16:21:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604105150.1977905-2-anskuma@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260604105150.1977905-1-anskuma@redhat.com>

Add a --dhcpv6-opt CODE,VALUE option for injecting custom DHCPv6
options into server replies. This patch adds the CLI parsing in conf.c,
storage in struct ctx, and a simple dhcpv6_add_option() that stores the
option code and raw string value.
