NAME
     dhcpcd-online  --	a  utility  to work out if dhcpcd(8) is in the connected
     state

SYNOPSIS
     dhcpcd-online [-q] [-t timeout] [-x]

DESCRIPTION
     dhcpcd-online connects to dhcpcd(8) and waits for a maximum of timeout sec-
     onds until the status changes to connected.  This tool is intended for  use
     in  the  startup  of the host system where dhcpcd(8) is started in parallel
     with other services who depend on a network connection being available.

     -q 	 Suppresses the reporting of non error messages.

     -t timeout  Sets the number of seconds dhcpcd-online waits for dhcpcd(8) to
		 reach the connected state.  If not specified, a  default  value
		 of 30 is used.

     -x 	 Exits immediately if dhcpcd(8) is not running.

NOTES
     dhcpcd(8) needs to be running in Master mode for dhcpcd-online to work.
