rtc_time functions
[Platform]

Attach an external RTC to be used for the C time functions.

Note:

Synchronization level: Thread safe

Parameters:

read_rtc	pointer to function which returns current UNIX timestamp
write_rtc	pointer to function which sets current UNIX timestamp, can be NULL
init_rtc	pointer to function which initializes RTC, can be NULL
isenabled_rtc	pointer to function which returns if the RTC is enabled, can be NULL

Implementation of the C time.h functions.

Provides mechanisms to set and read the current time, based on the microcontroller Real-Time Clock (RTC), plus some standard C manipulation and formatting functions.

Example:

 #include "mbed.h"

 int main() {
     set_time(1256729737);  // Set RTC time to Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:35:37

     while (true) {
         time_t seconds = time(NULL);

         printf("Time as seconds since January 1, 1970 = %u\n", (unsigned int)seconds);

         printf("Time as a basic string = %s", ctime(&seconds));

         char buffer[32];
         strftime(buffer, 32, "%I:%M %p\n", localtime(&seconds));
         printf("Time as a custom formatted string = %s", buffer);

         wait(1);
     }
 }

Set the current time

Initializes and sets the time of the microcontroller Real-Time Clock (RTC) to the time represented by the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (the UNIX timestamp).

Parameters:

t	Number of seconds since January 1, 1970 (the UNIX timestamp)

Note:

Synchronization level: Thread safe

Example:

 #include "mbed.h"

 int main() {
     set_time(1256729737); // Set time to Wed, 28 Oct 2009 11:35:37
 }
