Cocom - NTP client written in Rust
Cocom is an implementation of the NTP-protocol, to receive the time from NTP-server. The client does not necessarily need arguments.
The implementation does not use any NTP-libraries.
For further information on NTP, see RFC-5905.
Setup
The installation can be applied by running the following makefile target:
make build && make install
Cocom will be installed to /usr/local/bin/ and the installation target might need higher access privileges. Therefore, it is supposed to be in the global interpreter path. If an installation is not intended, it can be run locally. As a default host the NTP server from the PTB-Braunschweig is set.
make run-dev
Alternatively it can be run with the release profile.
make run
Usage
Currently, Cocom expects an NTP host, if not provided the default NTP server is used. If no flag is provided the client will return the current timestamp from the given NTP host.
