\label{dateandtime}
|
||||
The EFSL library supports setting and updating all date and time fields
|
||||
supported by the filesystem. In order to do this the library must
|
||||
know the current time and date at all times. Since it has to run everywhere,
|
||||
there is no standard mechanism to get the date/time, and some systems do
|
||||
not have a clock.
|
||||
|
||||
With default configuration there is no date or time support, you have to
|
||||
turn it on manually in the configuration file \filename{config.h}.
|
||||
You will have to uncomment the field named \code{\#define DATE\_TIME\_SUPPORT},
|
||||
in order to activate date/time support.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore you will have to provide the library with date and time information.
|
||||
A set of defines was used for this, when date/time support is not enabled,
|
||||
the defines automatically return \code{0x0000} for all time and date fields,
|
||||
so there is no performance suffer when you do not need date/time support.
|
||||
If you do need it you will have to provide 6 functions to the library
|
||||
that will tell it the time. Since these functions may get called often,
|
||||
it is highly recommended that you cache the time result somewhere so
|
||||
you can serve the library directly from ram. If you do not do this and
|
||||
your RTC request take a lot of time, you may suffer large losses in read
|
||||
or write operations depending on your hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
The six functions are:
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item\code{euint16 efsl\_getYear(void)}
|
||||
\item\code{euint8 efsl\_getMonth(void)}
|
||||
\item\code{euint8 efsl\_getDay(void)}
|
||||
\item\code{euint8 efsl\_getHour(void)}
|
||||
\item\code{euint8 efsl\_getMinute(void)}
|
||||
\item\code{euint8 efsl\_getSecond(void)}
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|
||||
Internally the library will recalculate these numbers to match the
|
||||
filesystem that is currently in use.
