int tfDhcpdUserConfigFromBuffer	(
	ttUserConstCharPtr bufferPtr,
	unsigned int bufferLen
	);

Function Description

This function configures the DHCP server with DHCP parameters, and options. It takes a pointer to a buffer, and a length as parameters. See usage below.

Parameters

• bufferPtr

  Pointer to a buffer. The buffer contains one line of DHCP options and parameters to be used by the DHCP server.

• bufferLen

  Length of data pointed to by bufferPtr.

Returns

• TM_EINVAL

  Null bufferPtr, or zero bufferlen, or invalid format in buffer content.

• TM_ENOBUFS

  This indicates failure due to a failed memory allocation.

• TM_ENOERROR

  The DHCP server loaded the configuration successfully.

Usage

This function is used to load the DHCP server with the DHCP options and parameters to be used to respond to potential DHCP clients. It is to be used instead of tfDhcpdUserConfigFromFile() when there is no file system support. This function must be called prior to calling tfDhcpdUserExecute(), or tfDhcpdUserStart(). The buffer input should have one or more full lines, and the function could be called multiple times (one line per call for example.) Calling this function with a partial line in the buffer is not supported. Each line given by the buffer has the same format as a line in the DHCP server configuration file, as described in the DHCP Server#DHCP Server configuration file format, and DHCP Server#DHCP Server configuration file example.
