_bios_timeofday

Syntax

 
#include <bios.h>

unsigned _bios_timeofday(unsigned cmd, unsigned long *timeval);

Description

The _bios_timeofday routine uses INT 0x1A to get or set the clock count (which is the number of 18.2 Hz ticks since midnight). The cmd argument can be either the _TIME_GETCLOCK or _TIME_SETCLOCK manifest constant.

Return Value

If the argument is _TIME_GETCLOCK, the routine returns a nonzero value if midnight was passed since last read, or zero if midnight was not passed. If the argument is _TIME_SETCLOCK, the return value is undefined.

Portability

ANSI/ISO C No
POSIX No

Example

 
unsigned hour, min, sec, hsec;
unsigned long ticks;
...
ticks = (unsigned long)(hour * 65543.33) + (min * 1092.38) +
        (sec * 18.21) + (hsec * 0.182);
_bios_timeofday(_TIME_SETCLOCK, &ticks);
