I just want to be clear on design for expected command line usage.    I do not see how vendorspecific can easily be specified as a single string on the command line as each sub-option has to have two bytes of option # and size specified before the sub-option string, and those bytes would be non-ascii characters.   So you are expecting useage to look like:


udhcpc -x "vendorspecific:sub2=ETSB"  -x "vendorspecific:sub3=ECM:ESTB"  -x "vendorspecific:sub4=$SERIAL_NO" -x "vendorspecific:sub5=HW-VER-403" -x "vendorspecific:sub6=FW-VER-1.0.0.1" -x "vendorspecific:sub7=BOOT-ROM-25.008" -x "vendorspecific:sub8=OUI-#" -x "vendorspecific:sub9=VENDOR_MODEL_NUMBER01" -x "vendorspecific:sub10=VENDOR_NAME_HERE" -x "vendorspecific:sub54=40-bit-HOST_ID-X.509-Cert."
