time_t rtc_boot_time

(

)

Get the time that the sytem was booted.

This function retrieves the RTC value from when KallistiOS was started. As with rtc_unix_secs(), this is a UNIX-style timestamp in local time.

Returns

The boot time as a UNIX-style timestamp.

time_t rtc_unix_secs

(

)

Get the current date/time.

This function retrieves the current RTC value as a standard UNIX timestamp (with an epoch of January 1, 1970 00:00). This is assumed to be in the timezone of the user (as the RTC does not support timezones).

Returns

The current UNIX-style timestamp (local time).
