NAME

       dhcpcd-online — a utility to work out if dhcpcd(8) is in the connected state

SYNOPSIS

       dhcpcd-online [-q] [-t timeout] [-x]

DESCRIPTION

       dhcpcd-online  connects  to dhcpcd(8) and waits for a maximum of timeout seconds until the status changes
       to connected.  This tool is intended for use in the startup of the host system where dhcpcd(8) is started
       in parallel with other services who depend on a network connection being available.

       -q          Suppresses the reporting of non error messages.

       -t timeout  Sets the number of seconds dhcpcd-online waits for dhcpcd(8) to reach  the  connected  state.
                   If not specified, a default value of 30 is used.

       -x          Exits immediately if dhcpcd(8) is not running.

NOTES

       dhcpcd(8) needs to be running in Master mode for dhcpcd-online to work.
