Questions about hooks development are generally better addressed at kea-dev.
You may want to take a look at
src/bin/dhcp4/tests/vendor_opts_unittest.cc and possibly also at
src/lib/dhcp/tests/option_vendor_unittest.cc Overall, you can do
something similar to this:
// check if there's option 43 in the packet.
Option4Ptr opt43 = pkt->getOption(DHO_VENDOR_ENCAPSULATED_OPTIONS);
if (!opt43) {
return;
}
// Get suboption 6 from the option 43.
Option4Ptr subopt6 = opt43->getOption(6);
// If you have option definitions, you may want to try casting to
// specific type. That way you'll be able to use type specific, such
// as getValue() returning a string for OptionString.
boost::shared_ptr<OptionVendor> str_subopt6 =
boost::dynamic_pointer_cast<OptionString>(subopt6);
if (str_subopt6) {
cout << "opt 43,subopt 6 value is " << str_subopt6->getValue() << endl;
}
You may want to take a look at src/lib/dhcp/option_*.h files.
Hope that helps,
