Package: gstreamer-net-0.10

public static unowned NetTimePacket receive (int fd, void* addr, uint32 len)
Receives a NetTimePacket over a socket. Handles interrupted system calls, but otherwise returns NULL on error. See recvfrom(2) for more information on how to interpret sockaddr. MT safe. Caller owns return value (g_free to free).

public NetTimePacket (uchar buffer)
Creates a new NetTimePacket from a buffer received over the network. The caller is responsible for ensuring that buffer is at least NET_TIME_PACKET_SIZE bytes long. If buffer is null, the local and remote times will be set to CLOCK_TIME_NONE. MT safe. Caller owns return value (g_free to free).

public int send (int fd, void* addr, uint32 len)
Sends a NetTimePacket over a socket. Essentially a thin wrapper around sendto(2) and serialize. MT safe.
public uchar serialize ()
Serialized a NetTimePacket into a newly-allocated sequence of NET_TIME_PACKET_SIZE bytes, in network byte order. The value returned is suitable for passing to write(2) or sendto(2) for communication over the network. MT safe. Caller owns return value (g_free to free).
