◆ ndpAddOption()

void ndpAddOption ( void *  message,
size_t *  messageLen,
uint8_t  type,
const void *  value,
size_t  length 
)

[in]messagePointer to the NDP message
[in,out]messageLenLength of the entire message
[in]typeOption type
[in]valueOption value
[in]lengthLength of the option value

Definition at line 593 of file ndp_misc.c.

◆ ndpCheckOptions()

error_t ndpCheckOptions ( const uint8_t *  options,
size_t  length 
)

Check NDP message options.

Parameters
[in]optionsPointer to the Options field
[in]lengthLength of the Options field
