Network Time Synchronization#

This module includes functions that control network time synchronization service.

Enumerations#

enum

OT_NETWORK_TIME_RESYNC_NEEDED = 0
OT_NETWORK_TIME_SYNCHRONIZED = 1
}

Represents OpenThread time synchronization status.

Typedefs#

typedef enum otNetworkTimeStatus

Represents OpenThread time synchronization status.

typedef void(*
otNetworkTimeSyncCallbackFn)(void *aCallbackContext)

Pointer is called when a network time sync or status change occurs.

Functions#
