[Question from newbie on DHCP server code]

[LE Haï-Binh]

Dear all community,

I'm new to this mailing list and also new to this stuff. I'm reading the
DHCP release 4.0 source code as one of my mission which I have to prepare a
report to my boss at the end of this month :-)

Firstly, in the server code, I found a weird thing called MDL which is not
mentioned anywhere in the code. What does it mean?
Secondly, I've found plenty of source code files and a complicated
relationship amongst them. Can you in brief tell me how the C compiler can
do such a pretty work to make this project run perfectly? I mean, if the
compiler meet a function that does not defined in a file .c, how can it find
the code for this function? (It would be a stupid question for even the
beginners but i'm totally new to this stuff :-)).

Thank you for all for your kindness and gentleness in reading and (if
possible) reply to my message.

Best regards,
HBLE
