How to get DHCP address change event notification programmatically?
Hello Experts,
I am working on a software that has network client-server architecture. I need to have a mechanism that notifies me upon change of dhcp address change locally or at remote machine. Windows have IP Helper APIs to get address change notification. Is there something similar in Unix? Is there any API that can be used to register for address change event notification in a C/C++ program?
I have heard about DHCP client event hook scripts but i prefer not using a standard script for notification, but get notifications directly to my program.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Best Regards.

desktop::notify::notification
Desktop::Notify::Notification(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Desktop::Notify::Notification(3pm)
NAME
Desktop::Notify::Notification - a notification object for the desktop notifications framework
VERSION
Version 0.03
SYNOPSIS
# $notify is an existing Desktop::Notify object
my $note = $notify->create(summary => 'Rebuilding FooBar',
body => 'Progress: 10%');
$note->show;
...
# Update the notification later
$note->body('Progress: 20%');
$note->show;
...
# Take it off the screen
$note->close;
DESCRIPTION
Desktop notification objects are represented as objects of this class. They are created by a Desktop::Notify object. Displaying, closing,
and modifying the notification is done by using methods in this class.
METHODS
new $notify, %params
This is called internally by Desktop::Notify to create a new notification object.
show
Display the notification on the screen. If this notification had previously been shown and not closed yet, it will replace the existing
notification.
Show can be called multiple times on the same notification, probably with attribute changes between calls, and later show calls will cause
the server to seamlessly replace the existing notification.
close
Close the notification if it is already being displayed.
ATTRIBUTES
The following parameters can be set when creating the object or later modified using accessors (descriptions are from the specification at
<http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/0.9/x408.html>)
summary
The summary text briefly describing the notification.
body
The optional detailed body text. Can be empty.
timeout
The timeout time in milliseconds since the display of the notification at which the notification should automatically close.
If -1, the notification's expiration time is dependent on the notification server's settings, and may vary for the type of
notification. If 0, never expire.
The following extra parameters are included in the specification but not supported by Desktop::Notify at this time
app_icon
The optional program icon of the calling application.
actions
Actions are sent over as a list of pairs. Each even element in the list (starting at index 0) represents the identifier for the action.
Each odd element in the list is the localized string that will be displayed to the user.
hints
Optional hints that can be passed to the server from the client program.
