otCacheEntryState#

otCacheEntryState

This enumeration defines the EID cache entry state.

otPowerSupply#

otPowerSupply

This enumeration represents the power supply property on a device.

This is used as a property in otDeviceProperties to calculate the leader weight.

otNeighborTableEvent#

otNeighborTableEvent

This enumeration defines the constants used in otNeighborTableCallback to indicate changes in neighbor table.

otChildIp6AddressIterator#

typedef uint16_t otChildIp6AddressIterator

Used to iterate through IPv6 addresses of a Thread Child entry.

otCacheEntryState#

typedef enum otCacheEntryState otCacheEntryState

This enumeration defines the EID cache entry state.

otCacheEntryInfo#

typedef struct otCacheEntryInfo otCacheEntryInfo

This structure represents an EID cache entry.

otCacheEntryIterator#

typedef struct otCacheEntryIterator otCacheEntryIterator

This type represents an iterator used for iterating through the EID cache table entries.

To initialize the iterator and start from the first entry in the cache table, set all its fields in the structure to zero (e.g., memset the iterator to zero).

otDeviceProperties#

typedef struct otDeviceProperties otDeviceProperties

This structure represents the device properties which are used for calculating the local leader weight on a device.

The parameters are set based on device's capability, whether acting as border router, its power supply config, etc.

mIsUnstable indicates operational stability of device and is determined via a vendor specific mechanism. It can include the following cases:

• Device internally detects that it loses external power supply more often than usual. What is usual is determined by the vendor.

• Device internally detects that it reboots more often than usual. What is usual is determined by the vendor.

otNeighborTableCallback#
