[Kea-users] Inter-process communication with the kea server?

[David Farje]

Sorry I just realized you're looking for something different.
You can use libkea-dhcpsrv libraries to interact with the allocation engine
at a lower level. Handle with care. See:
https://reports.kea.isc.org/dev_guide/d8/d5f/libdhcpsrv.html
Hope this helps!
