NAME

dhcdbd - program to return dhcp configuration

SYNOPSIS

dhcdbd [--system] [--session] [--no-daemon] [--destVAR] [--pathVAR] [--prefix=VAR]

DESCRIPTION

dhcdbd is designed to be started as a D-Bus service from a service description file, by default /usr/share/dbus-1/services/dhcdbd.service;
hence the default bus it will connect to is the "STARTER" bus, and it must be installed setuid to root.

OPTIONS

--system
use system bus
--session
use session bus
--no-daemon
do not fork / daemonize: stay in foreground
--dest
set connection destination - default: 'com.redhat.dhcp'
--path
set object path prefix - default: '/com/redhat/dhcp'
--prefix
set interface prefix - default: 'com.redhat.dhcp'

EXAMPLES

Here are some examples using dbus-send to contact dhcdbd:
 /usr/bin/dbus-send --dest=com.redhat.dhcp --type=method_call \                            --print-reply --reply-timeout=20000 \                            /com/redhat/dhcp/eth0 \ 		 			  com.redhat.dhcp.up uint32:7 uint32:2 
Brings up interface eth0, telling dhclient-script not to modify resolv.conf, perform ifconfigs, or modify routes, but TO configure ntp.conf, ntp/step-tickers and yp.conf. When this interface is brought down, the lease is to be released.
