Description



The dhconconfig usage message is misleading.

# dhcpconfig -D
dhcpconfig: Error - cannot configure without resource and path options.

dhcpconfig (options)

Where (options) is one of:

 -D                    Configure the DHCP service Sub-options:
                       [-r (resource)]
                       [-p (path)]
                       [-u (uninterpreted data)]


etc.

The problem is that the -r and -p flags are required, yet the convention is that flags
in square brackets are optional. This is
misleading (and caused me to try and type
the command wrongly).

The same is true for the usage message for the
-C option.
