Was wondering if anybody can advise on whether the MoreSCF API of
'MoreSCDHCPRelease' is the same as the 'Renew DHCP lease' button, as
sometimes when I have seen the 169.x.x.x address that clicking on the button
doesn't do anything.


System Configuration framework provides a couple of APIs for this:

o SCNetworkInterfaceRefreshConfiguration -- Can't remember when this was added (probably around 10.3) but it's now deprecated in favour of the following.

o SCNetworkInterfaceForceConfigurationRefresh -- Added in 10.5.

You should use these rather than the old MoreSCDHCPRelease technique. That's what the Renew DHCP Lease button does (-:
