UDHCPC(8) GNU/Linux Administrator's Manual UDHCPC(8)
NAME
udhcpc - very small DHCP client
SYNOPSIS
udhcpc [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
The udhcp client negotiates a lease with the DHCP server and executes a script when it is obtained or lost.
OPTIONS
-c CLIENTID, --clientid=CLIENTID
Send the client identifier CLIENTID.
-f, --foreground
Do not fork after obtaining a lease.
-H HOSTNAME, --hostname=HOSTNAME
Send the client hostname HOSTNAME.
-h HOSTNAME
Alias for -H HOSTNAME.
-i INTERFACE, --interface=INTERFACE
Configure INTERFACE.
-n, --now
Exit with failure if a lease cannot be obtained.
-p FILE, --pidfile=FILE
Write the process ID of the daemon to FILE.
-q, --quit
Exit after obtaining a lease.
-r ADDRESS, --request=ADDRESS
Request IP address ADDRESS.
-s FILE, --script=FILE
Use script FILE.
-v, --version
Display version.
USAGE
When an event occurs, udhcpc executes a script. There are four possible arguments to this script:
deconfig
deconfig is used when udhcpc starts, and when a lease is lost. The script should put the interface in an up, but deconfigured,
state.
bound bound is used when udhcpc moves from an unbound to a bound state. The script should configure the interface and set any other rele-
vant parameters (e.g., default gateway, dns server, etc.).
renew renew is used when udhcpc when a lease is renewed. The interface is already configured, so the IP address will not change. Other
parameters (e.g., default gateway, subnet mask, dns server) may.
nak nak is used when udhcpc receieves a NAK packet from the server. The enviromental variable $message will contain the reason for the
NAK message if the server included one. Processing this message is optional, as the script will also be called with deconfig if need
be.
Parameters are passed to the script via the following environment variables:
HOME The inherited HOME, or "/" if it is unset.
PATH The inherited PATH, or "/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin" if it is unset.
interface
The interface.
ip The client IP address.

FILES

NOTES
udhcpc responds to the following signals:
SIGUSR1
This signal causes udhcpc to renew the current lease or, if it does not have one, obtain a new lease.
SIGUSR2
This signal caused udhcpc to release the current lease.
