[PATCH v2 12/12] c-user: Generate clock manager documentation

Sebastian Huber sebastian.huber at embedded-brains.de
Wed Feb 10 16:28:09 UTC 2021


The documentation is a consolidation of the comments in Doxygen markup
and the documentation sources in Sphinx markup.  The documentation was
transfered to interface specification items.  The documentation source
files were generated from the items by a script.

Update #3993.

-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive sets the system date and time.  The date, time, and ticks in
-    the time_buffer structure are all range-checked, and an error is returned
-    if any one is out of its valid range.
+.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:
 
-NOTES:
-    Years before 1988 are invalid.
+``time``
+    This parameter is the time to set the clock.
 
-    The system date and time are based on the configured tick rate (number of
-    microseconds in a tick).
+.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:
 
-    Setting the time forward may cause a higher priority task, blocked waiting
-    on a specific time, to be made ready.  In this case, the calling task will
-    be preempted after the next clock tick.
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`
+    The requested operation was successful.
 
-    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.
+:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS`
+    The ``time`` parameter was `NULL
+    <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/NULL>`_.

+The date, time, and ticks specified by ``time`` are all range-checked, and an
+error is returned if any one is out of its valid range.
 
-.. _rtems_clock_get_tod:
+RTEMS can represent time points of this clock in nanoseconds ranging from
+1988-01-01T00:00:00.000000000Z to 2514-05-31T01:53:03.999999999Z.  The future
+uptime of the system shall be in this range, otherwise the system behaviour is
+undefined.
 
-CLOCK_GET_TOD - Get date and time in TOD format
------------------------------------------------
+The specified time is based on the configured :term:`clock tick` rate, see the
+:ref:`CONFIGURE_MICROSECONDS_PER_TICK` application configuration option.
 
-CALLING SEQUENCE:
-    .. code-block:: c
+Setting the time forward will fire all :term:`CLOCK_REALTIME` timers which are
+scheduled at a time point before or at the time set by the directive.  This may
+unblock tasks, which may preempt the calling task. User-provided timer routines
+will execute in the context of the caller.
 
-        rtems_status_code rtems_clock_get_tod(
-            rtems_time_of_day *time_buffer
-        );
+It is allowed to call this directive from within interrupt context, however,
+this is not recommended since an arbitrary number of timers may fire.
 
-DIRECTIVE STATUS CODES:
-    .. list-table::
-      :class: rtems-table
+The directive shall be called at least once to enable the service of
+:term:`CLOCK_REALTIME` related directives.  If the clock is not set at least
+once, they may return an error status.

+    Clock Driver
+        The Clock Driver is a driver which provides the :term:`clock tick` and a
+        time counter.  The time counter is used to drive the :term:`CLOCK_REALTIME`
+        and :term:`CLOCK_MONOTONIC`.  The Clock Driver can be initialized by the
+        application with the :ref:`CONFIGURE_APPLICATION_NEEDS_CLOCK_DRIVER` and
+        :ref:`CONFIGURE_MICROSECONDS_PER_TICK` application configuration options.
+
+    clock tick
+        The clock tick is a coarse time measure provided by RTEMS.  The
+        :term:`Clock Driver` emits clock ticks at rate specified by the
+        :ref:`CONFIGURE_MICROSECONDS_PER_TICK` application configuration option.  In
+        contrast to :term:`CLOCK_REALTIME` and :term:`CLOCK_MONOTONIC`, the clock
+        tick rate is not affected by incremental adjustments.
+
+    CLOCK_MONOTONIC
+        The CLOCK_MONOTONIC is a clock provided by RTEMS which measures the time
+        since an unspecified starting point.  In contrast to :term:`CLOCK_REALTIME`,
+        this clock cannot be set.  It may be affected by incremental adjustments for
+        example carried out by the :term:`NTP` or the use of a :term:`PPS` signal.
+        See also :term:`CLOCK_REALTIME`, :term:`clock tick`, and
+        :term:`Clock Driver`.
+
+    CLOCK_REALTIME
+        The CLOCK_REALTIME is a clock provided by RTEMS which measures the real time
+        (also known as wall-clock time).  It is defined by :term:`POSIX`.  In
+        particular, every day is treated as if it contains exactly 86400 seconds and
+        leap seconds are ignored.  This clock can be set by the application which may
+        result in time jumps.  It may be affected by incremental adjustments for
+        example carried out by the :term:`NTP` or the use of a :term:`PPS` signal.
+        RTEMS can represent time points of this clock in nanoseconds ranging from
+        1988-01-01T00:00:00.000000000Z to 2514-05-31T01:53:03.999999999Z.  See also
