+ - @b Arguments:
+ - name: @b query4, type: isc::dhcp::Pkt4Ptr, direction: in
+ - name: @b leases4, type: isc::dhcp::Lease4CollectionPtr, direction: in
+ - name: @b offer_lifetime, type: uint32_t, direction: in
+ - name: @b old_lease, type: isc::dhcp::Lease4Ptr, direction: in
+
+ - @b Description: this callout is executed when the server has received
+ DHCPDISCOVER from the client and the DHCPOFFER is yet to be sent back
+ to the client. The argument "query4" contains a pointer to an isc::dhcp::Pkt4
+ object that contains all information regarding incoming DHCPDISCOVER packet.
+ The "leases4" object will hold the pointer to the new candidate lease for this
+ client. The "offer_lifetime" argument comes from the context information for the
+ DHCPv4 lease allocation. If "offer_lifetime" is not zero, it indicates that the
+ lease already exists in the lease store. The "old_lease" argument also comes from
+ the context information for the DHCPv4 lease allocation. If not Null, it is a pointer
+ to an old lease that the client had before.
+
+ - Next step status: If any callout installed on the "lease4_offer"
+ sets the next step action to DROP, the server will drop the processed query.
+ The callout is responsible for dealing with Declined lease for the Offer that
+ in this case will NOT be sent back to the client.
+ If any callout installed on the "lease4_offer" sets the next step action to PARK,
+ the server will park the processed packet (hold packet processing) until the hook
+ libraries explicitly unpark the packet after they are done performing asynchronous
+ operations. Upon the packet UNPARK, the Offer will be sent to the client.
+ This was originally intended to be used by "ping-check" premium hook.
