- What: /dev/rtcX
- Date: April 2005
- KernelVersion: 2.6.12
- Contact: [email protected]
- Description:
- The ioctl interface to drivers for real-time clocks (RTCs).
- Following actions are supported:
- * RTC_RD_TIME, RTC_SET_TIME: Read or set the RTC time. Time
- format is a Gregorian calendar date and 24 hour wall clock
- time.
- * RTC_AIE_ON, RTC_AIE_OFF: Enable or disable the alarm interrupt
- for RTCs that support alarms
- * RTC_ALM_READ, RTC_ALM_SET: Read or set the alarm time for
- RTCs that support alarms. Can be set upto 24 hours in the
- future. Requires a separate RTC_AIE_ON call to enable the
- alarm interrupt. (Prefer to use RTC_WKALM_*)
- * RTC_WKALM_RD, RTC_WKALM_SET: For RTCs that support a more
- powerful interface, which can issue alarms beyond 24 hours and
- enable IRQs in the same request.
- * RTC_PIE_ON, RTC_PIE_OFF: Enable or disable the periodic
- interrupt for RTCs that support periodic interrupts.
- * RTC_UIE_ON, RTC_UIE_OFF: Enable or disable the update
- interrupt for RTCs that support it.
- * RTC_IRQP_READ, RTC_IRQP_SET: Read or set the frequency for
- periodic interrupts for RTCs that support periodic interrupts.
- Requires a separate RTC_PIE_ON call to enable the periodic
- interrupts.
- * RTC_VL_READ: Read the voltage inputs status of the RTC when
- supported. The value is a bit field of RTC_VL_*, giving the
- status of the main and backup voltages.
- * RTC_VL_CLEAR: Clear the voltage status of the RTC. Some RTCs
- need user interaction when the backup power provider is
- replaced or charged to be able to clear the status.
- The ioctl() calls supported by the older /dev/rtc interface are
- also supported by the newer RTC class framework. However,
- because the chips and systems are not standardized, some PC/AT
- functionality might not be provided. And in the same way, some
- newer features -- including those enabled by ACPI -- are exposed
- by the RTC class framework, but can't be supported by the older
- driver.
