FreeRTOS_sockets.h
Note: this hook needs to be defined only when ipconfigDHCP_REGISTER_HOSTNAME
is set to 1 in the FreeRTOSIPConfig.h file.
const char * pcApplicationHostnameHook( void );
eApplicationHostnameHook is an application defined hook (or callback) function that is called by the FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP stack when an IP-address is requested from a DHCP server. This allows the device to register its hostname with the DHCP server.
Callback functions are implemented by the application writer, but called by the TCP/IP stack. The prototype of the callback function
must exactly match the prototype above (including the function name). The code in an application hook should not call FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP API's
that are blocking. That could easily lead to a dead-lock.
When an application hook executes, it borrows the task priority and the stack of the IP-task. Therefore, we recommend that you keep application hooks short--it may want to wakeup some application task which will do further processing.
Return value:
A NULL terminated hostname which the device can send to register with the DHCP server. The maximum length of the hostname can
be 32 characters.
