Simple Rust NTP client

This crate provides a method for sending requests to NTP servers and process responses, extracting received timestamp

Documentation

https://docs.rs/sntpc

Installation

This crate works with Cargo and is on crates.io. Add it to your Cargo.toml like so:

toml [dependencies] sntpc = "0.2"

By calling the request() method and providing a proper NTP pool or server you should get a valid synchronization timestamp:

```rust use sntpc;

let result = sntpc::request("pool.ntp.org", 123); if let Ok(sntpc::NtpResult { sec, nsec, roundtrip, offset }) = result { println!("NTP server time: {}.{}", sec, nsec); println!("Roundtrip time: {}, offset: {}", roundtrip, offset); } ```

Lightweight system time synchronization

The sntpc crate contains the timesync application that may sync system time with the given NTP server

Command-line options

``` USAGE: timesync [OPTIONS]

FLAGS: -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: -p, --port NTP server port [default: 123] -s, --server NTP server hostname [default: time.google.com] ```

This is the output of timesync -h.
