## Description

This object exposes the time of a GstClock on the network.

A GstNetTimeProvider is created with `gst_net_time_provider_new()` which takes a GstClock, an address and a port number as arguments.

After creating the object, a client clock such as GstNetClientClock can query the exposed clock over the network for its values.

The GstNetTimeProvider typically wraps the clock used by a GstPipeline.

## Details

### GstNetTimeProvider

    typedef struct _GstNetTimeProvider GstNetTimeProvider;

Opaque GstNetTimeProvider structure.

### gst_net_time_provider_new ()

    GstNetTimeProvider* gst_net_time_provider_new           (GstClock *clock,
                                                             const gchar *address,
                                                             gint port);

Allows network clients to get the current time of `clock`.

`clock` : | a GstClock to export over the network
`address` : | an address to bind on as a dotted quad (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), or NULL to bind to all addresses
`port` : | a port to bind on, or 0 to let the kernel choose
Returns : | the new GstNetTimeProvider, or NULL on error

## Property Details

### The `"active"` property

      "active"                   gboolean              : Read / Write

TRUE if the clock will respond to queries over the network.

Default value: TRUE

### The `"address"` property

      "address"                  gchar*                : Read / Write

The address to bind on, as a dotted quad (x.x.x.x).

Default value: "0.0.0.0"

### The `"clock"` property

      "clock"                    GstClock*             : Read / Write

The clock to export over the network.

### The `"port"` property

      "port"                     gint                  : Read / Write

The port to receive the packets from, 0=allocate.

Allowed values: [0,65535]

Default value: 5637
