Directives
==========
This section details the directives of the Clock Manager. A subsection is
dedicated to each of this manager's directives and lists the calling sequence,
parameters, description, return values, and notes of the directive.

.. index:: rtems_clock_set()
.. _InterfaceRtemsClockSet:
rtems_clock_set()
-----------------
Sets the :term:`CLOCK_REALTIME` to the time of day.
.. rubric:: CALLING SEQUENCE:
.. code-block:: c
rtems_status_code rtems_clock_set( const rtems_time_of_day *time_of_day );
.. rubric:: PARAMETERS:
``time_of_day``
This parameter is the time of day to set the clock.
.. rubric:: RETURN VALUES:
:c:macro:`RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL`
The requested operation was successful.
:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS`
The ``time_of_day`` parameter was `NULL
<https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/NULL>`_.
:c:macro:`RTEMS_INVALID_CLOCK`
The time of day specified by ``time_of_day`` was invalid.
.. rubric:: NOTES:
The date, time, and ticks specified by ``time_of_day`` are all range-checked,
and an error is returned if any one is out of its valid range.
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.
The specified time is based on the configured :term:`clock tick` rate, see the
:ref:`CONFIGURE_MICROSECONDS_PER_TICK` application configuration option.
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.
It is allowed to call this directive from within interrupt context, however,
this is not recommended since an arbitrary number of timers may fire.
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.
.. rubric:: CONSTRAINTS:
The following constraints apply to this directive:
* The directive may be called from within any runtime context.
* The directive may change the priority of another task which may preempt the
calling task.
* The directive may unblock another task which may preempt the calling task.
