## 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.

## Functions

### 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` .

#### Parameters

clock | a GstClock to export over the network |

port | a port to bind on, or 0 to let the kernel choose |

#### Returns

the new GstNetTimeProvider, or NULL on error
