Typedef Documentation#
otHistoryTrackerIterator#
typedef struct otHistoryTrackerIterator otHistoryTrackerIterator
Represents an iterator to iterate through a history list.
The fields in this type are opaque (intended for use by OpenThread core) and therefore should not be accessed/used by caller.
Before using an iterator, it MUST be initialized using otHistoryTrackerInitIterator()
,

typedef struct otHistoryTrackerNetworkInfo otHistoryTrackerNetworkInfo
Represents Thread network info.
otHistoryTrackerUnicastAddressInfo#
typedef struct otHistoryTrackerUnicastAddressInfo otHistoryTrackerUnicastAddressInfo

typedef struct otHistoryTrackerMulticastAddressInfo otHistoryTrackerMulticastAddressInfo
Represent an IPv6 multicast address info.
otHistoryTrackerMessageInfo#
typedef struct otHistoryTrackerMessageInfo otHistoryTrackerMessageInfo
Represents a RX/TX IPv6 message info.
Some of the fields in this struct are applicable to a RX message or a TX message only, e.g., mAveRxRss
is the average RSS of all fragment frames that form a received message and is only applicable for a RX message.

typedef struct otHistoryTrackerNeighborInfo otHistoryTrackerNeighborInfo
Represents a neighbor info.
