ParametersDescription
hNetselected interface handle
keepPerm- if true, the permanent entries will not be deleted
- otherwise the permanent entries will be deleted as well
keepAddBusy- if true, the corresponding IP address (if the entry exists) will continue to be marked as busy
and it won't be used for other client leases
- otherwise, the IP address will be marked as available
This should be the default

Returns

- TCPIP_DHCPS_RES_OK - if the operation completed successfully

- < 0 - if wrong interface or DHCP server is not running on that interface

- TCPIP_DHCPS_RES_ACCESS_LOCKED - if access to the DHCP server DB is locked by another thread and the the call can be retried. Multi-threaded access is enabled (build symbol TCPIP_DHCPS_MULTI_THREADED_ACCESS != 0)
