Template:Linkless 'OMAPI is an acronym that stands for Object Management Application Programming Interface. It is currently used by ISC DHCP as an API to manipulate the internal data structure of a running server in a secure way; the allowed modifications cannot impact the functioning server.

Operations

  • Shutting down or reloading the server
  • Partially modifying internal data structure such as leases or host
  • Modifying status of objects such as failover relationship

Offering a well-defined API to access the data is an example of «barricade» in software engineering.
