Networking_SntpServer_Start Function

Header: #include <applibs/networking.h>

Registers and starts an SNTP server for a network interface.

int Networking_SntpServer_Start(const char *networkInterfaceName, const Networking_SntpServerConfig *sntpServerConfig);

Parameters

• networkInterfaceName The name of the network interface to configure.

• sntpServerConfig A pointer to the Networking_SntpServerConfig struct that represents the SNTP server configuration.

Errors

Returns -1 if an error is encountered and sets errno to the error value.

• EACCES: the calling application doesn't have the SntpService capability.

• EFAULT: the networkInterfaceName parameter is NULL.

• EFAULT: the sntpServerConfig parameter is NULL.

• ENOENT: the networkInterfaceName parameter refers to an interface that does not exist..

• EPERM: this operation is not allowed on the network interface.

• EAGAIN: the networking stack isn't ready.

Any other errno may also be specified; such errors aren't deterministic and the same behavior might not be retained through system updates.

Return value

Returns 0 for success, or -1 for failure, in which case errno will be set to the error value.

Remarks

If the SNTP server is already running and attached to the interface, this function returns success. If the networkInterfaceName interface is down or disabled, the SNTP server is registered for the interface but server isn't started.

Application manifest requirements

The application manifest must include the SntpService capability.
