+# DHCPv4 Option Probe Client (Python)
+
+This directory contains the Python DHCPv4 probe client:
+
+- `dhcpv4_option_probe.py`
+
+## What the client checks
+
+The client performs the DHCP exchange:
+
+- `DHCPDISCOVER`
+- `DHCPOFFER`
+- `DHCPREQUEST`
+- `DHCPACK`
+
+Option checks are based on:
+
+- options requested in `DHCPREQUEST` (`param_req_list`)
+- options received in the final `DHCPACK`
+
+The output is extracted from the final `DHCPACK` only.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- `python3`
+- `scapy`
+- root privileges (raw packet send/receive)
+
+Install dependency:
+
+```bash
+pip install scapy
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+sudo -E python3 dhcpv4_option_probe.py --iface <interface> --request-options "1,3,6,15,42"
+```
+
+Default output format:
+
+```text
+RECEIVED_TAGS=1,3,6,15,42
+```
+
+## Debug mode
+
+Pass `--debug` to print the full scapy packet dump for each DHCP exchange to stderr:
+
+```bash
+sudo -E python3 dhcpv4_option_probe.py --iface <interface> --request-options "1,3,6,15,42" --debug
+```
+
+The debug output includes:
+
+- `--- DHCPDISCOVER sent ---` — full packet before sending
+- `--- DHCPOFFER received ---` — full packet from server
+- `--- DHCPREQUEST sent ---` — full packet before sending
+- `--- DHCPACK received ---` — full packet from server
+- `DEBUG_DHCPREQUEST_PRL=<tags>` — the parameter request list sent in DHCPREQUEST (stdout)
+
+Debug output goes to stderr so the `RECEIVED_TAGS=` line on stdout is unaffected.
+
+## Real-environment recommendation (network delay tolerance)
+
+Use a higher timeout when network delays are expected:
+
+```bash
+sudo -E python3 dhcpv4_option_probe.py --iface <interface> --request-options "1,3,6,15,42" --timeout 12
+```
+
+## Exit codes
+
+- `0`: success (`DHCPACK` received and parsed)
+- `2`: error (`DHCPOFFER`/`DHCPACK` missing, `DHCPNAK`, or invalid DHCP response)
