Address mode specifies how the address and port number are determined by the SRP server and how this info is published in the Thread Network Data.

Enumerator
OT_SRP_SERVER_ADDRESS_MODE_UNICAST

OT_SRP_SERVER_ADDRESS_MODE_ANYCAST

Anycast address mode.


Typedef Documentation#

otSrpClientHostInfo#

typedef struct otSrpClientHostInfo otSrpClientHostInfo

Represents an SRP client host info.


otSrpClientService#

typedef struct otSrpClientService otSrpClientService

Represents an SRP client service.

The values in this structure, including the string buffers for the names and the TXT record entries, MUST persist and stay constant after an instance of this structure is passed to OpenThread from otSrpClientAddService() or otSrpClientRemoveService().

The mState, mData, mNext fields are used/managed by OT core only. Their value is ignored when an instance of otSrpClientService is passed in otSrpClientAddService() or otSrpClientRemoveService() or other functions. The caller does not need to set these fields.

The mLease and mKeyLease fields specify the desired lease and key lease intervals for this service. Zero value indicates that the interval is unspecified and then the default lease or key lease intervals from otSrpClientGetLeaseInterval() and otSrpClientGetKeyLeaseInterval() are used for this service. If the key lease interval (whether set explicitly or determined from the default) is shorter than the lease interval for a service, SRP client will re-use the lease interval value for key lease interval as well. For example, if in service mLease is explicitly set to 2 days and mKeyLease is set to zero and default key lease is set to 1 day, then when registering this service, the requested key lease for this service is also set to 2 days.


otSrpClientCallback#

typedef void(* otSrpClientCallback) (otError aError, const otSrpClientHostInfo *aHostInfo, const otSrpClientService *aServices, const otSrpClientService *aRemovedServices, void *aContext) )(otError aError, const otSrpClientHostInfo *aHostInfo, const otSrpClientService *aServices, const otSrpClientService *aRemovedServices, void *aContext)

Pointer type defines the callback used by SRP client to notify user of changes/events/errors.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
[in]aError

The error (see above).

[in]aHostInfo

A pointer to host info.

[in]aServices

The head of linked-list containing all services (excluding the ones removed). NULL if the list is empty.

[in]aRemovedServices

The head of linked-list containing all removed services. NULL if the list is empty.

[in]aContext

A pointer to an arbitrary context (provided when callback was registered).

This callback is invoked on a successful registration of an update (i.e., add/remove of host-info and/or some service(s)) with the SRP server, or if there is a failure or error (e.g., server rejects a update request or client times out waiting for response, etc).

In case of a successful reregistration of an update, aError parameter would be OT_ERROR_NONE and the host info and the full list of services is provided as input parameters to the callback. Note that host info and services each track its own state in the corresponding mState member variable of the related data structure (the state indicating whether the host-info/service is registered or removed or still being added/removed, etc).

The list of removed services is passed as its own linked-list aRemovedServices in the callback. Note that when the callback is invoked, the SRP client (OpenThread implementation) is done with the removed service instances listed in aRemovedServices and no longer tracks/stores them (i.e., if from the callback we call otSrpClientGetServices() the removed services will not be present in the returned list). Providing a separate list of removed services in the callback helps indicate to user which items are now removed and allow user to re-claim/reuse the instances.

If the server rejects an SRP update request, the DNS response code (RFC 2136) is mapped to the following errors:

  • (0) NOERROR Success (no error condition) -> OT_ERROR_NONE

  • (1) FORMERR Server unable to interpret due to format error -> OT_ERROR_PARSE

  • (2) SERVFAIL Server encountered an internal failure -> OT_ERROR_FAILED

  • (3) NXDOMAIN Name that ought to exist, does not exist -> OT_ERROR_NOT_FOUND

  • (4) NOTIMP Server does not support the query type (OpCode) -> OT_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED

  • (5) REFUSED Server refused for policy/security reasons -> OT_ERROR_SECURITY

  • (6) YXDOMAIN Some name that ought not to exist, does exist -> OT_ERROR_DUPLICATED

  • (7) YXRRSET Some RRset that ought not to exist, does exist -> OT_ERROR_DUPLICATED

  • (8) NXRRSET Some RRset that ought to exist, does not exist -> OT_ERROR_NOT_FOUND

  • (9) NOTAUTH Service is not authoritative for zone -> OT_ERROR_SECURITY

  • (10) NOTZONE A name is not in the zone -> OT_ERROR_PARSE

  • (20) BADNAME Bad name -> OT_ERROR_PARSE

  • (21) BADALG Bad algorithm -> OT_ERROR_SECURITY

  • (22) BADTRUN Bad truncation -> OT_ERROR_PARSE

  • Other response codes -> OT_ERROR_FAILED

The following errors are also possible:

  • OT_ERROR_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT : Timed out waiting for response from server (client would continue to retry).

  • OT_ERROR_INVALID_ARGS : The provided service structure is invalid (e.g., bad service name or otDnsTxtEntry).

  • OT_ERROR_NO_BUFS : Insufficient buffer to prepare or send the update message.

Note that in case of any failure, the client continues the operation, i.e. it prepares and (re)transmits the SRP update message to the server, after some wait interval. The retry wait interval starts from the minimum value and is increased by the growth factor every failure up to the max value (please see configuration parameter OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_SRP_CLIENT_MIN_RETRY_WAIT_INTERVAL and the related ones for more details).


otSrpClientAutoStartCallback#

typedef void(* otSrpClientAutoStartCallback) (const otSockAddr *aServerSockAddr, void *aContext) )(const otSockAddr *aServerSockAddr, void *aContext)

Pointer type defines the callback used by SRP client to notify user when it is auto-started or stopped.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
[in]aServerSockAddr

A non-NULL pointer indicates SRP server was started and pointer will give the selected server socket address. A NULL pointer indicates SRP server was stopped.

[in]aContext

A pointer to an arbitrary context (provided when callback was registered).

This is only used when auto-start feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_SRP_CLIENT_AUTO_START_API_ENABLE is enabled.

This callback is invoked when auto-start mode is enabled and the SRP client is either automatically started or stopped.


otSrpClientBuffersServiceEntry#

typedef struct otSrpClientBuffersServiceEntry otSrpClientBuffersServiceEntry

Represents a SRP client service pool entry.


otSrpServerHost#

typedef struct otSrpServerHost otSrpServerHost

This opaque type represents a SRP service host.


otSrpServerService#

typedef struct otSrpServerService otSrpServerService

This opaque type represents a SRP service.


otSrpServerServiceUpdateId#

typedef uint32_t otSrpServerServiceUpdateId

The ID of a SRP service update transaction on the SRP Server.


otSrpServerAddressMode#

typedef enum otSrpServerAddressMode otSrpServerAddressMode

Represents the address mode used by the SRP server.

Address mode specifies how the address and port number are determined by the SRP server and how this info is published in the Thread Network Data.


otSrpServerTtlConfig#

typedef struct otSrpServerTtlConfig otSrpServerTtlConfig

Includes SRP server TTL configurations.


otSrpServerLeaseConfig#

typedef struct otSrpServerLeaseConfig otSrpServerLeaseConfig

Includes SRP server LEASE and KEY-LEASE configurations.


otSrpServerLeaseInfo#

typedef struct otSrpServerLeaseInfo otSrpServerLeaseInfo

Includes SRP server lease information of a host/service.


otSrpServerResponseCounters#

typedef struct otSrpServerResponseCounters otSrpServerResponseCounters

Includes the statistics of SRP server responses.


otSrpServerServiceUpdateHandler#

typedef void(* otSrpServerServiceUpdateHandler) (otSrpServerServiceUpdateId aId, const otSrpServerHost *aHost, uint32_t aTimeout, void *aContext) )(otSrpServerServiceUpdateId aId, const otSrpServerHost *aHost, uint32_t aTimeout, void *aContext)

Handles SRP service updates.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
[in]aId

The service update transaction ID. This ID must be passed back with otSrpServerHandleServiceUpdateResult.

[in]aHost

A pointer to the otSrpServerHost object which contains the SRP updates. The handler should publish/un-publish the host and each service points to this host with below rules:

  1. If the host is not deleted (indicated by otSrpServerHostIsDeleted), then it should be published or updated with mDNS. Otherwise, the host should be un-published (remove AAAA RRs).

  2. For each service points to this host, it must be un-published if the host is to be un-published. Otherwise, the handler should publish or update the service when it is not deleted (indicated by otSrpServerServiceIsDeleted) and un-publish it when deleted.

[in]aTimeout

The maximum time in milliseconds for the handler to process the service event.

[in]aContext

A pointer to application-specific context.

Is called by the SRP server to notify that a SRP host and possibly SRP services are being updated. It is important that the SRP updates are not committed until the handler returns the result by calling otSrpServerHandleServiceUpdateResult or times out after aTimeout.

A SRP service observer should always call otSrpServerHandleServiceUpdateResult with error code OT_ERROR_NONE immediately after receiving the update events.

A more generic handler may perform validations on the SRP host/services and rejects the SRP updates if any validation fails. For example, an Advertising Proxy should advertise (or remove) the host and services on a multicast-capable link and returns specific error code if any failure occurs.

Function Documentation#

otSrpClientStart#

otError otSrpClientStart (otInstance * aInstance, const otSockAddr * aServerSockAddr)

Starts the SRP client operation.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

const otSockAddr *[in]aServerSockAddr

The socket address (IPv6 address and port number) of the SRP server.

SRP client will prepare and send "SRP Update" message to the SRP server once all the following conditions are met:

  • The SRP client is started - otSrpClientStart() is called.

  • Host name is set - otSrpClientSetHostName() is called.

  • At least one host IPv6 address is set - otSrpClientSetHostAddresses() is called.

  • At least one service is added - otSrpClientAddService() is called.

It does not matter in which order these functions are called. When all conditions are met, the SRP client will wait for a short delay before preparing an "SRP Update" message and sending it to server. This delay allows for user to add multiple services and/or IPv6 addresses before the first SRP Update message is sent (ensuring a single SRP Update is sent containing all the info). The config OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_SRP_CLIENT_UPDATE_TX_DELAY specifies the delay interval.


otSrpClientStop#

void otSrpClientStop (otInstance * aInstance)

Stops the SRP client operation.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

Stops any further interactions with the SRP server. Note that it does not remove or clear host info and/or list of services. It marks all services to be added/removed again once the client is (re)started.


otSrpClientIsRunning#

bool otSrpClientIsRunning (otInstance * aInstance)

Indicates whether the SRP client is running or not.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

Returns

  • TRUE if the SRP client is running, FALSE otherwise.


otSrpClientGetServerAddress#

const otSockAddr * otSrpClientGetServerAddress (otInstance * aInstance)

Gets the socket address (IPv6 address and port number) of the SRP server which is being used by SRP client.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

If the client is not running, the address is unspecified (all zero) with zero port number.

Returns

  • A pointer to the SRP server's socket address (is always non-NULL).


otSrpClientSetCallback#

void otSrpClientSetCallback (otInstance * aInstance, otSrpClientCallback aCallback, void * aContext)

Sets the callback to notify caller of events/changes from SRP client.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

otSrpClientCallback[in]aCallback

The callback to notify of events and changes. Can be NULL if not needed.

void *[in]aContext

An arbitrary context used with aCallback.

The SRP client allows a single callback to be registered. So consecutive calls to this function will overwrite any previously set callback functions.


otSrpClientEnableAutoStartMode#

void otSrpClientEnableAutoStartMode (otInstance * aInstance, otSrpClientAutoStartCallback aCallback, void * aContext)

Enables the auto-start mode.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

otSrpClientAutoStartCallback[in]aCallback

A callback to notify when client is auto-started/stopped. Can be NULL if not needed.

void *[in]aContext

A context to be passed when invoking aCallback.

This is only available when auto-start feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_SRP_CLIENT_AUTO_START_API_ENABLE is enabled.

Config option OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_SRP_CLIENT_AUTO_START_DEFAULT_MODE specifies the default auto-start mode (whether it is enabled or disabled at the start of OT stack).

When auto-start is enabled, the SRP client will monitor the Thread Network Data to discover SRP servers and select the preferred server and automatically start and stop the client when an SRP server is detected.

There are three categories of Network Data entries indicating presence of SRP sever. They are preferred in the following order:

1) Preferred unicast entries where server address is included in the service data. If there are multiple options, the one with numerically lowest IPv6 address is preferred.

2) Anycast entries each having a seq number. A larger sequence number in the sense specified by Serial Number Arithmetic logic in RFC-1982 is considered more recent and therefore preferred. The largest seq number using serial number arithmetic is preferred if it is well-defined (i.e., the seq number is larger than all other seq numbers). If it is not well-defined, then the numerically largest seq number is preferred.

3) Unicast entries where the server address info is included in server data. If there are multiple options, the one with numerically lowest IPv6 address is preferred.

When there is a change in the Network Data entries, client will check that the currently selected server is still present in the Network Data and is still the preferred one. Otherwise the client will switch to the new preferred server or stop if there is none.

When the SRP client is explicitly started through a successful call to otSrpClientStart(), the given SRP server address in otSrpClientStart() will continue to be used regardless of the state of auto-start mode and whether the same SRP server address is discovered or not in the Thread Network Data. In this case, only an explicit otSrpClientStop() call will stop the client.


otSrpClientDisableAutoStartMode#

void otSrpClientDisableAutoStartMode (otInstance * aInstance)

Disables the auto-start mode.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

This is only available when auto-start feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_SRP_CLIENT_AUTO_START_API_ENABLE is enabled.

Disabling the auto-start mode will not stop the client if it is already running but the client stops monitoring the Thread Network Data to verify that the selected SRP server is still present in it.

Note that a call to otSrpClientStop() will also disable the auto-start mode.


otSrpClientIsAutoStartModeEnabled#

bool otSrpClientIsAutoStartModeEnabled (otInstance * aInstance)

Indicates the current state of auto-start mode (enabled or disabled).

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

This is only available when auto-start feature OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_SRP_CLIENT_AUTO_START_API_ENABLE is enabled.

Returns

  • TRUE if the auto-start mode is enabled, FALSE otherwise.


otSrpClientGetTtl#

uint32_t otSrpClientGetTtl (otInstance * aInstance)

Gets the TTL value in every record included in SRP update requests.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

Note that this is the TTL requested by the SRP client. The server may choose to accept a different TTL.

By default, the TTL will equal the lease interval. Passing 0 or a value larger than the lease interval via otSrpClientSetTtl() will also cause the TTL to equal the lease interval.

Returns

  • The TTL (in seconds).


otSrpClientSetTtl#

void otSrpClientSetTtl (otInstance * aInstance, uint32_t aTtl)

Sets the TTL value in every record included in SRP update requests.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

uint32_t[in]aTtl

The TTL (in seconds). If value is zero or greater than lease interval, the TTL is set to the lease interval.

Changing the TTL does not impact the TTL of already registered services/host-info. It only affects future SRP update messages (i.e., adding new services and/or refreshes of the existing services).


otSrpClientGetLeaseInterval#

uint32_t otSrpClientGetLeaseInterval (otInstance * aInstance)

Gets the default lease interval used in SRP update requests.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

The default interval is used only for otSrpClientService instances with mLease set to zero.

Note that this is the lease duration requested by the SRP client. The server may choose to accept a different lease interval.

Returns

  • The lease interval (in seconds).


otSrpClientSetLeaseInterval#

void otSrpClientSetLeaseInterval (otInstance * aInstance, uint32_t aInterval)

Sets the default lease interval used in SRP update requests.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

uint32_t[in]aInterval

The lease interval (in seconds). If zero, the default value specified by OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_SRP_CLIENT_DEFAULT_LEASE would be used.

The default interval is used only for otSrpClientService instances with mLease set to zero.

Changing the lease interval does not impact the accepted lease interval of already registered services/host-info. It only affects any future SRP update messages (i.e., adding new services and/or refreshes of the existing services).


otSrpClientGetKeyLeaseInterval#

uint32_t otSrpClientGetKeyLeaseInterval (otInstance * aInstance)

Gets the default key lease interval used in SRP update requests.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

The default interval is used only for otSrpClientService instances with mKeyLease set to zero.

Note that this is the lease duration requested by the SRP client. The server may choose to accept a different lease interval.

Returns

  • The key lease interval (in seconds).


otSrpClientSetKeyLeaseInterval#

void otSrpClientSetKeyLeaseInterval (otInstance * aInstance, uint32_t aInterval)

Sets the default key lease interval used in SRP update requests.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

uint32_t[in]aInterval

The key lease interval (in seconds). If zero, the default value specified by OPENTHREAD_CONFIG_SRP_CLIENT_DEFAULT_KEY_LEASE would be used.

The default interval is used only for otSrpClientService instances with mKeyLease set to zero.

Changing the lease interval does not impact the accepted lease interval of already registered services/host-info. It only affects any future SRP update messages (i.e., adding new services and/or refreshes of existing services).


otSrpClientGetHostInfo#

const otSrpClientHostInfo * otSrpClientGetHostInfo (otInstance * aInstance)

Gets the host info.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

Returns

  • A pointer to host info structure.


otSrpClientSetHostName#

otError otSrpClientSetHostName (otInstance * aInstance, const char * aName)

Sets the host name label.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

const char *[in]aName

A pointer to host name label string (MUST NOT be NULL). Pointer to the string buffer MUST persist and remain valid and constant after return from this function.

After a successful call to this function, otSrpClientCallback will be called to report the status of host info registration with SRP server.

The name string buffer pointed to by aName MUST persist and stay unchanged after returning from this function. OpenThread will keep the pointer to the string.

The host name can be set before client is started or after start but before host info is registered with server (host info should be in either STATE_TO_ADD or STATE_REMOVED).


otSrpClientEnableAutoHostAddress#

otError otSrpClientEnableAutoHostAddress (otInstance * aInstance)

Enables auto host address mode.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *N/AaInstance

When enabled host IPv6 addresses are automatically set by SRP client using all the preferred unicast addresses on Thread netif excluding all link-local and mesh-local addresses. If there is no preferred address, then Mesh Local EID address is added. The SRP client will automatically re-register when/if addresses on Thread netif are updated (new addresses are added or existing addresses are removed or marked as non-preferred).

The auto host address mode can be enabled before start or during operation of SRP client except when the host info is being removed (client is busy handling a remove request from an call to otSrpClientRemoveHostAndServices() and host info still being in either STATE_TO_REMOVE or STATE_REMOVING states).

After auto host address mode is enabled, it can be disabled by a call to otSrpClientSetHostAddresses() which then explicitly sets the host addresses.


otSrpClientSetHostAddresses#

otError otSrpClientSetHostAddresses (otInstance * aInstance, const otIp6Address * aIp6Addresses, uint8_t aNumAddresses)

Sets/updates the list of host IPv6 address.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

const otIp6Address *[in]aIp6Addresses

A pointer to the an array containing the host IPv6 addresses.

uint8_t[in]aNumAddresses

The number of addresses in the aIp6Addresses array.

Host IPv6 addresses can be set/changed before start or during operation of SRP client (e.g. to add/remove or change a previously registered host address), except when the host info is being removed (client is busy handling a remove request from an earlier call to otSrpClientRemoveHostAndServices() and host info still being in either STATE_TO_REMOVE or STATE_REMOVING states).

The host IPv6 address array pointed to by aIp6Addresses MUST persist and remain unchanged after returning from this function (with OT_ERROR_NONE). OpenThread will save the pointer to the array.

After a successful call to this function, otSrpClientCallback will be called to report the status of the address registration with SRP server.

Calling this function disables auto host address mode if it was previously enabled from a successful call to otSrpClientEnableAutoHostAddress().


otSrpClientAddService#

otError otSrpClientAddService (otInstance * aInstance, otSrpClientService * aService)

Adds a service to be registered with server.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

otSrpClientService *[in]aService

A pointer to a otSrpClientService instance to add.

After a successful call to this function, otSrpClientCallback will be called to report the status of the service addition/registration with SRP server.

The otSrpClientService instance being pointed to by aService MUST persist and remain unchanged after returning from this function (with OT_ERROR_NONE). OpenThread will save the pointer to the service instance.

The otSrpClientService instance is not longer tracked by OpenThread and can be reclaimed only when

  • It is removed explicitly by a call to otSrpClientRemoveService() or removed along with other services by a call to otSrpClientRemoveHostAndServices() and only after theotSrpClientCallback` is called indicating the service was removed. Or,

  • A call to otSrpClientClearHostAndServices() which removes the host and all related services immediately.


otSrpClientRemoveService#

otError otSrpClientRemoveService (otInstance * aInstance, otSrpClientService * aService)

Requests a service to be unregistered with server.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

otSrpClientService *[in]aService

A pointer to a otSrpClientService instance to remove.

After a successful call to this function, otSrpClientCallback will be called to report the status of remove request with SRP server.

The otSrpClientService instance being pointed to by aService MUST persist and remain unchanged after returning from this function (with OT_ERROR_NONE). OpenThread will keep the service instance during the remove process. Only after the otSrpClientCallback is called indicating the service instance is removed from SRP client service list and can be be freed/reused.


otSrpClientClearService#

otError otSrpClientClearService (otInstance * aInstance, otSrpClientService * aService)

Clears a service, immediately removing it from the client service list.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

otSrpClientService *[in]aService

A pointer to a otSrpClientService instance to delete.

Unlike otSrpClientRemoveService() which sends an update message to the server to remove the service, this function clears the service from the client's service list without any interaction with the server. On a successful call to this function, the otSrpClientCallback will NOT be called and the aService entry can be reclaimed and re-used by the caller immediately.

Can be used along with a subsequent call to otSrpClientAddService() (potentially reusing the same aService entry with the same service and instance names) to update some of the parameters in an existing service.


otSrpClientGetServices#

const otSrpClientService * otSrpClientGetServices (otInstance * aInstance)

Gets the list of services being managed by client.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

Returns

  • A pointer to the head of linked-list of all services or NULL if the list is empty.


otSrpClientRemoveHostAndServices#

otError otSrpClientRemoveHostAndServices (otInstance * aInstance, bool aRemoveKeyLease, bool aSendUnregToServer)

Starts the remove process of the host info and all services.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

bool[in]aRemoveKeyLease

A boolean indicating whether or not the host key lease should also be removed.

bool[in]aSendUnregToServer

A boolean indicating whether to send update to server when host info is not registered.

After returning from this function, otSrpClientCallback will be called to report the status of remove request with SRP server.

If the host info is to be permanently removed from server, aRemoveKeyLease should be set to true which removes the key lease associated with host on server. Otherwise, the key lease record is kept as before, which ensures that the server holds the host name in reserve for when the client is once again able to provide and register its service(s).

The aSendUnregToServer determines the behavior when the host info is not yet registered with the server. If aSendUnregToServer is set to false (which is the default/expected value) then the SRP client will immediately remove the host info and services without sending an update message to server (no need to update the server if nothing is yet registered with it). If aSendUnregToServer is set to true then the SRP client will send an update message to the server. Note that if the host info is registered then the value of aSendUnregToServer does not matter and the SRP client will always send an update message to server requesting removal of all info.

One situation where aSendUnregToServer can be useful is on a device reset/reboot, caller may want to remove any previously registered services with the server. In this case, caller can otSrpClientSetHostName() and then request otSrpClientRemoveHostAndServices() with aSendUnregToServer as true.


otSrpClientClearHostAndServices#

void otSrpClientClearHostAndServices (otInstance * aInstance)

Clears all host info and all the services.

Parameters
TypeDirectionArgument NameDescription
otInstance *[in]aInstance

A pointer to the OpenThread instance.

Unlike otSrpClientRemoveHostAndServices() which sends an update message to the server to remove all the info, this function clears all the info immediately without any interaction with the server.
