Networking_DhcpServer_Start Function
Header: #include <applibs/networking.h>
Registers, configures, and starts the DHCP server for a network interface. The configuration specified by this function call overwrites the existing configuration.
int Networking_DhcpServer_Start(const char *networkInterfaceName, const Networking_DhcpServerConfig *dhcpServerConfig);
Parameters
networkInterfaceName
The name of the network interface to configure.dhcpServerConfig
A pointer to the Networking_DhcpServerConfig struct that represents the DHCP server configuration.
Errors
Returns -1 if an error is encountered and sets errno
to the error value.
EACCES: the application manifest does not include the DhcpService capability.
ENOENT: the
networkInterfaceName
parameter refers to an interface that does not exist.EPERM: this operation is not allowed on the network interface.
EFAULT: the
networkInterfaceName
parameter is NULL.EFAULT: the
dhcpServerConfig
parameter is NULL.EAGAIN: the networking stack isn't ready.
EINVAL: the configuration struct has invalid parameters.
Any other errno
may also be specified; such errors aren't deterministic and the same behavior might not be retained through system updates.
Return value
Returns 0 for success, or -1 for failure, in which case errno
will be set to the error value.
Remarks
If the network interface is up when this function is called, the DHCP server will be shut down, configured, and started. If the interface is down, the server will start when the interface is up.
The interface must be configured with a static IP address before this function is called; otherwise, the EPERM error is returned.
Application manifest requirements
The application manifest must include the DhcpService capability.
