suppressing DHCP messages

[Siddons, David]

...sorry, that file is an EPICS file. Talking to two lists simultaneously is confusing!
Pete.

Hi Christian,
   Turns out that was left-over test code in rtems_init.c. I commented them out and all is now well. I believe the latest version has them removed.

Hello Pete,

not entirely sure how EPICS initializes dhcpcd. But I would expect that
your application creates a /dev/dhcpcd.conf somewhere. You can add the
"quiet" option to that file:

https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dhcpcd.conf&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD*13.0-RELEASE*and*Ports&arch=default&format=html__;Kysr!!P4SdNyxKAPE!XPuMFkMEYBezuIigrxyh13AlgkwIGuLGASXR88ZX4xai51nloC0B_Qsw5x2dgZw$

(Note: The man page is a bit newer than our dhcpcd. But the quiet should
be the same.)

Alternatively there should be a call to rtems_dhcpcd_start() somewhere
(maybe hidden in another call). That function allows an
rtems_dhcpcd_config structure pointer as an argument. That structure has
an argc and argv. Without testing: I think you could pass a "-q" or a
"--quiet" in these to silence dhcpcd. Note that the first field in argv
has to be the program name. So you would have to use something like

const char *argv[] = {"dhcpcd", "-q", NULL};
int argc = RTEMS_BSD_ARGC(argv);

Best regards

Christian
