(Swift) Query NTP Server for Current Date/Time
Demonstrates how to query an NTP server to get the current date/time.
Note: This feature was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.96.
func chilkatTest() {
// Specify the NTP server domain.
// Information is passed in a JSON object to allow for any unanticipated future optional information that might need to be provided.
let json = CkoJsonObject()!
json.update("ntp_server", value: "pool.ntp.org")
// Query the NTP server for the current date/time.
let dt = CkoDateTime()!
var success: Bool = dt.setFromNtpServer(json.emit())
if success == false {
print("\(dt.lastErrorText!)")
return
}
// Show the date/time in various formats..
var bLocalTime: Bool = true
print("\(dt.getAsTimestamp(bLocalTime)!)")
print("\(dt.getAsRfc822(bLocalTime)!)")
print("\(dt.getAsUnixTime(bLocalTime))")
// Sample output:
// 2023-10-31T09:43:27-05:00
// Tue, 31 Oct 2023 09:43:27 -0500
// 1698745407
