otBorderRouterGetNetData

otError otBorderRouterGetNetData(
  otInstance *aInstance,
  bool aStable,
  uint8_t *aData,
  uint8_t *aDataLength
)

This method provides a full or stable copy of the local Thread Network Data.

Details
Parameters
[in] aInstance
A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
[in] aStable
TRUE when copying the stable version, FALSE when copying the full version.
[out] aData
A pointer to the data buffer.
[in,out] aDataLength
On entry, size of the data buffer pointed to by aData. On exit, number of copied bytes.

otBorderRouterGetNextOnMeshPrefix

otError otBorderRouterGetNextOnMeshPrefix(
  otInstance *aInstance,
  otNetworkDataIterator *aIterator,

)

This function gets the next On Mesh Prefix in the local Network Data.

Details
Parameters
[in] aInstance
A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
[in,out] aIterator
A pointer to the Network Data iterator context. To get the first on-mesh entry it should be set to OT_NETWORK_DATA_ITERATOR_INIT.
[out] aConfig
A pointer to the On Mesh Prefix information.
Return Values
OT_ERROR_NONE
Successfully found the next On Mesh prefix.
OT_ERROR_NOT_FOUND
No subsequent On Mesh prefix exists in the Thread Network Data.

otBorderRouterGetNextRoute

otError otBorderRouterGetNextRoute(
  otInstance *aInstance,
  otNetworkDataIterator *aIterator,

)

This function gets the next external route in the local Network Data.

Details
Parameters
[in] aInstance
A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
[in,out] aIterator
A pointer to the Network Data iterator context. To get the first external route entry it should be set to OT_NETWORK_DATA_ITERATOR_INIT.
[out] aConfig
A pointer to the External Route information.
Return Values
OT_ERROR_NONE
Successfully found the next External Route.
OT_ERROR_NOT_FOUND
No subsequent external route entry exists in the Thread Network Data.

otBorderRouterRegister

)

Immediately register the local network data with the Leader.

Details
Parameters
[in] aInstance
A pointer to an OpenThread instance.
