+Some RTC devices are able to monitor the voltage of the backup battery and thus provide a way for the user to know that the battery should be replaced. The \fB\-\-vl\-read\fP function retrieves the Voltage Low information and decodes the result into human\-readable form. The \fB\-\-vl\-clear\fP function resets the Voltage Low information, which is necessary for some RTC devices after a battery replacement.

+See the Kernel\(cqs \fIinclude/uapi/linux/rtc.h\fP for details on which pieces of information may be returned. Note that not all RTC devices have this monitoring capability, nor do all drivers necessarily support reading the information.
