rsntp

An RFC 4330 compliant Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client library for Rust.

rsntp provides a simple synchronous (blocking) API which allows synchronization with SNTPv4 servers and uses data types from the chrono crate for convenience.

Usage

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rsntp = "0.1"

After that you can query the current local time with the following code:

use rsntp::SntpClient;
use chrono::{DateTime, Local};

let client = SntpClient::new("pool.ntp.org").unwrap();
let result = client.synchronize().unwrap();

let local_time: DateTime<Local> = DateTime::from(result.datetime());

println!("Current time is: {}", local_time)
