Description

It would be pretty awesome if when creating a node for the first time (ZT_create_node), I could supply the human readable names that are shown in ZeroTier Central. Maybe this is already possible, but if so it isn't clear from ZeroTierOne.h.

Research direction

Start by reading ZeroTierOne.h and locating ZT_create_node. Check whether the API already accepts or exposes human-readable node names for ZeroTier Central; if not, determine the API surface that would need to change. Done means the app can supply the name when creating a node and the resulting name is shown in ZeroTier Central.
