◆ otBorderRoutingGetOmrPrefix()

otError otBorderRoutingGetOmrPrefix ( otInstance aInstance,
otIp6Prefix aPrefix 
)

This method returns the off-mesh-routable (OMR) prefix.

This method returns the on-link prefix for the adjacent infrastructure link.

The randomly generated 64-bit prefix will be advertised on the infrastructure link if there isn't already a usable on-link prefix being advertised on the link.

Parameters
[in]aInstanceA pointer to an OpenThread instance.
[out]aPrefixA pointer to where the prefix will be output to.
Return values
OT_ERROR_INVALID_STATEThe Border Routing Manager is not initialized yet.
OT_ERROR_NONESuccessfully retrieved the on-link prefix.

◆ otBorderRoutingInit()

otError otBorderRoutingInit ( otInstance aInstance,

OT_ERROR_INVALID_STATEThe Border Routing Manager has already been initialized.
OT_ERROR_INVALID_ARGSThe index of the infrastructure interface is not valid.
OT_ERROR_FAILEDInternal failure. Usually due to failure in generating random prefixes.
