[feature request] dump unknown options using the --dumplease flag #282
Description
Unknown lease options don't appear to be dumped by dhcpcd. Microsoft Azure, for example, uses dhcp option 245 to announce its wireserver IP address to cloud instances. The ability to use dhcpcd --dumplease would be very helpful for use cases like this.
$ dhcpcd --dumplease < /var/lib/dhcpcd/eth0.lease

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
import os
def iter_options(data: bytes, index: int):
"""options are variable length, and consist of the following format
option number: 1 byte
option length: 1 byte
option data: variable length (see length field)
"""
while len(data) >= index + 2:
code = data[index]
length = data[1 + index]
option = data[2 + index : 2 + index + length]
yield code, option
index = 2 + length + index
lease_file = sys.argv[1]
print(f"parsing lease: {lease_file}")
with open(lease_file, "rb") as f:
for code, option in iter_options(f.read(), 240):
print(f" found option {code}: {option}")Which shows that option 245 is in the lease:
