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. -- cgit v1.2.3
