typedef void(* otCoapRequestHandler) (void *aContext, otMessage *aMessage, const otMessageInfo *aMessageInfo)

This function pointer is called when a CoAP request with a given Uri-Path is received.

Parameters

[in]	`aContext`	A pointer to arbitrary context information.
[in]	`aMessage`	A pointer to the message.
[in]	`aMessageInfo`	A pointer to the message info for `aMessage` .

◆ otCoapResponseHandler

typedef void(* otCoapResponseHandler) (void *aContext, otMessage *aMessage, const otMessageInfo *aMessageInfo, otError aResult)

This function pointer is called when a CoAP response is received or on the request timeout.

Parameters

[in]	`aMessage`	A pointer to the message buffer containing the response. NULL if no response was received.
[in]	`aMessageInfo`	A pointer to the message info for `aMessage` . NULL if no response was received.
