clock change

Hi We had a AIX box built last year but was set to the correct GMT time, but using DST time zone. In march this year the clocks went forward without issues. (if I remember a couple of weeks early due to the DST zone) This year we decided to change the clock to the correct time zone before...

Bugs with clock()

Hi there!!! Need your help in solving some tricky problems. Since clock() as such is buggy on SUN OS 5 we have started using gettimeofday() in our RTOS applications based on Solaris 9. The problems we actually encountered previously were - the applications kind of freeze/hang eternally on...

inittodr

INITTODR(9)						   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual					       INITTODR(9)

NAME

     inittodr -- initialize system time

SYNOPSIS

     void
     inittodr(time_t base);

DESCRIPTION

     The inittodr() function determines the time and sets the system clock.  It tries to pick the correct time using a set of heuristics that
     examine the system's battery-backed clock and the time reported by the file system, as given in base.  Those heuristics include:

     o	 If the battery-backed clock has a valid time, and is not significantly behind the time provided by base, it is used.

     o	 If the battery-backed clock does not have a valid time, or is significantly behind the time provided in base, and the time provided in
	 base is within reason, base is used as the current time.

     o	 If the battery-backed clock appears invalid, and base appears non-sensical or was not provided (was given as zero), an arbitrary base
	 (typically some time within the same year that the kernel was last updated) will be used.

     Once a system time has been determined, it is stored in the time variable.

DIAGNOSTICS

     The inittodr() function prints diagnostic messages if it has trouble figuring out the system time.  Conditions that can cause diagnostic mes-
     sages to be printed include:

     o	 There is no battery-backed clock present on the system.

     o	 The battery-backed clock's time appears nonsensical.

     o	 The base time appears nonsensical.

     o	 The base time and the battery-backed clock's time differ by a large amount.

BUGS

     Some systems use heuristics for picking the correct time that are slightly different.
