NAME
todr_attach, todr_gettime, todr_settime, clock_ymdhms_to_secs, clock_secs_to_ymdhms -- time-of-day clock support
SYNOPSIS
#include <dev/clock_subr.h> void todr_attach(todr_chip_handle_t); int todr_gettime(todr_chip_handle_t, struct timeval *); int todr_settime(todr_chip_handle_t, struct timeval *); void clock_secs_to_ymdhms(int, struct clock_ymdhms *); time_t clock_ymdhms_to_secs(struct clock_ymdhms *);
DESCRIPTION
The todr_*() functions provide an interface to read, set and control `time-of-day' devices. A driver for a `time-of-day' device registers its todr_chip_handle_t with machine-dependent code using the todr_attach() function. Alternatively, a machine-dependent front-end to a `time-of-day' device driver may obtain the todr_chip_handle_t directly. The todr_gettime() retrieves the current data and time from the TODR device and returns it in the struct timeval storage provided by the caller. todr_settime() sets the date and time in the TODR device repre- sented by todr_chip_handle_t according to the struct timeval argument. The utilities clock_secs_to_ymdhms() and clock_ymdhms_to_secs() are pro- vided to convert a time value in seconds to and from a structure repre- senting the date and time as a <year,month,day,weekday,hour,minute,seconds> tuple. This structure is defined as follows: struct clock_ymdhms { u_short dt_year; /* Year */ u_char dt_mon; /* Month (1-12) */ u_char dt_day; /* Day (1-31) */ u_char dt_wday; /* Day of week (0-6) */ u_char dt_hour; /* Hour (0-23) */ u_char dt_min; /* Minute (0-59) */ u_char dt_sec; /* Second (0-59) */ }; Note: leap years are recognised by these conversion routines.
RETURN VALUES
The todr_*() functions return 0 if the requested operation was success- ful; otherwise an error code from <sys/errno.h> shall be returned. How- ever, behaviour is undefined if an invalid todr_chip_handle_t is passed to any of these functions. The clock_ymdhms_to_secs() function returns -1 if the time in seconds would be less that zero or too large to fit in a time_t. The clock_secs_to_ymdhms() function never fails.
