I am trying to programmaticaly detect my current network settings in QNX 6.3.  I am able to get netmask and IP address, 
but I can't find a way to detect if DHCP is enabled for a network interface. 

Any idea how I may get this information without parsing net.cfg?  Thanks.

None that I'm aware of.  'dhcp.client' is simply a utility
that uses networking services so it's sort of like asking if
'ping' is enabled on an interface.  You could check if it's
running but that doesn't tell you which interface(s) it's
operating on.
