Task Overview - Task Real Time Clock Task Overview - Library The RTC task and associated library calls, handle the base time keeping facility on a platform. The date and time are handled as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 on the 1st of January 1970 (also called 'Unix Time'). Task Attributes Task priority : 128 (normal priority) Task depends on : Tasks/OS/Library/OS.a Task Description This task supplies the current time and date (in Unix time - the number of seconds since midnight on the 1st of January, 1970). Library Description To be written. Task History        08 November 2005 GJP Created  05 February 2009 GJP Added external read/write of registers       Task Function Calls Here follows a list of functions supplied by this library with a brief description of each. By clicking on a function name, further information will be shown. Function Brief Lib_RTCGet Get current time Lib_RTCReadRegister Read a register from RTC Lib_RTCSet Set current time Lib_RTCWriteRegister Write a register to RTC Lib_RTCGet Get current time Function prototype  DWORD Lib_RTCGet(); Input parameter(s)      None       Return value      DWORD - Unix time     Purpose Library function to call up the RTC task to perform a read of the current time. This time, is the number of seconds since 00:00:00 of the 1st of January 1970 (called Unix time).
