NetTimePacket
===================================================================

.. currentmodule:: gi.repository.GstNet





.. class:: NetTimePacket(*args, **kwargs)
   :no-contents-entry:






Various functions for receiving, sending an serializing :obj:`~gi.repository.GstNet.NetTimePacket`
structures.


Constructors
------------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: NetTimePacket
   :no-index:


   .. classmethod:: new(buffer: list[int] | None = None) -> ~gi.repository.GstNet.NetTimePacket

      Creates a new :obj:`~gi.repository.GstNet.NetTimePacket` from a buffer received over the network. The
      caller is responsible for ensuring that ``buffer`` is at least
      ``GST_NET_TIME_PACKET_SIZE`` bytes long.

      If ``buffer`` is :const:`None`, the local and remote times will be set to
      ``GST_CLOCK_TIME_NONE``.

      MT safe. Caller owns return value (gst_net_time_packet_free to free).






      :param buffer: a buffer from which to construct the packet, or NULL








Methods
-------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: NetTimePacket
   :no-index:


   .. method:: free() -> None

      Free ``packet``\.









   .. classmethod:: receive() -> ~typing.Tuple[~gi.repository.GstNet.NetTimePacket, ~gi.repository.Gio.SocketAddress]

      Receives a :obj:`~gi.repository.GstNet.NetTimePacket` over a socket. Handles interrupted system
      calls, but otherwise returns NULL on error.









   .. method:: send(socket: ~gi.repository.Gio.Socket, dest_address: ~gi.repository.Gio.SocketAddress) -> bool

      Sends a :obj:`~gi.repository.GstNet.NetTimePacket` over a socket.

      MT safe.






      :param socket: socket to send the time packet on

      :param dest_address: address to send the time packet to




   .. method:: serialize() -> list[int]

      Serialized a :obj:`~gi.repository.GstNet.NetTimePacket` into a newly-allocated sequence of
      ``GST_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).



















Fields
------

.. rst-class:: interim-class

.. class:: NetTimePacket
   :no-index:
   

   .. attribute:: local_time

      The local time when this packet was sent






   .. attribute:: remote_time

      The remote time observation
