Hi,

No. As far as I know there's no real common commandline interface
defined for DHCP clients:

dhcpcd5: /sbin/dhcpcd5
isc-dhcp-client: /sbin/dhclient
pump: /sbin/pump
udhcpc: /sbin/udhcpc

At least wicd handles them all separately and differently.

Probably the only thing their commandline interface has in common is
that if there's a single parameter, it should be the interface name.
