59.Sh DESCRIPTION
60The
61.Fn todr_*
62functions provide an interface to read, set and control
63.Ql time-of-day
64devices.
65A driver for a
66.Ql time-of-day
67device registers its
68.Fa todr_chip_handle_t
69with machine-dependent code using the
70.Fn todr_attach
71function.
72Alternatively, a machine-dependent front-end to a
73.Ql time-of-day
74device driver may obtain the
75.Fa todr_chip_handle_t
76directly.
77.Pp
78The
79.Fn todr_gettime
80retrieves the current data and time from the TODR device and returns it
81in the
82.Fa struct timeval
83storage provided by the caller.
84.Fn todr_settime
85sets the date and time in the TODR device represented by
86.Fa todr_chip_handle_t
87according to the
88.Fa struct timeval
89argument.
90.Pp
91The utilities
92.Fn clock_secs_to_ymdhms
93and
94.Fn clock_ymdhms_to_secs
95are provided to convert a time value in seconds to and from a structure
96representing the date and time as a
97.Aq year,month,day,weekday,hour,minute,seconds
98tuple.
99This structure is defined as follows:
100.Bd -literal
101struct clock_ymdhms {
102	u_short dt_year;	/* Year */
103	u_char dt_mon;		/* Month (1-12) */
104	u_char dt_day;		/* Day (1-31) */
105	u_char dt_wday;		/* Day of week (0-6) */
106	u_char dt_hour;		/* Hour (0-23) */
107	u_char dt_min;		/* Minute (0-59) */
108	u_char dt_sec;		/* Second (0-59) */
109};
110.Ed
111.Pp
112Note: leap years are recognised by these conversion routines.
113.Sh RETURN VALUES
114The
115.Fn todr_*
116functions return 0 if the requested operation was successful;
117otherwise an error code from
118.Aq Pa sys/errno.h
119shall be returned.
120However, behaviour is undefined if an invalid
121.Fa todr_chip_handle_t
122is passed to any of these functions.
123.Pp
124The
125.Fn clock_ymdhms_to_secs
126function returns \-1 if the time in seconds would be less that zero or too
127large to fit in a
128.Fa time_t .
129The
130.Fn clock_secs_to_ymdhms
131function never fails.
