10.5. Removed Directives#

10.5.1. CLOCK_GET - Get date and time information#

Warning

This directive was removed in RTEMS 5.1. See also Transition Advice for the Removed rtems_clock_get().

CALLING SEQUENCE:
rtems_status_code rtems_clock_get(
   rtems_clock_get_options  option,
   void                    *time_buffer
);
DIRECTIVE STATUS CODES:

RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL

current time obtained successfully

RTEMS_NOT_DEFINED

system date and time is not set

RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS

time_buffer is NULL
DESCRIPTION:

This directive obtains the system date and time. If the caller is attempting to obtain the date and time (i.e. option is set to either RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_SECONDS_SINCE_EPOCH, RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_TOD, or RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_TIME_VALUE) and the date and time has not been set with a previous call to rtems_clock_set, then the RTEMS_NOT_DEFINED status code is returned. The caller can always obtain the number of ticks per second (option is RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_TICKS_PER_SECOND) and the number of ticks since the executive was initialized option is RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_TICKS_SINCE_BOOT).

The option argument may taken on any value of the enumerated type rtems_clock_get_options. The data type expected for time_buffer is based on the value of option as indicated below:

Option

Return type

RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_TOD

(rtems_time_of_day *)

RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_SECONDS_SINCE_EPOCH

(rtems_interval *)

RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_TICKS_SINCE_BOOT

(rtems_interval *)

RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_TICKS_PER_SECOND

(rtems_interval *)

RTEMS_CLOCK_GET_TIME_VALUE

(struct timeval *)
NOTES:

This directive is callable from an ISR.

This directive will not cause the running task to be preempted. Re-initializing RTEMS causes the system date and time to be reset to an uninitialized state. Another call to rtems_clock_set is required to re-initialize the system date and time to application specific specifications.
