Hi All, I have a question regarding the clocks maintained by RTLinux 3.1. I couldn't find a proper description of what these clocks really represent, which makes it hard for a newbie to find out which clock to use for some purpose. I've searched the archive but couldn't find a satisfying answer.
In GettingStarted.html I read CLOCK_REALTIME is currently same as CLOCK_MONOTONIC. Whereas in RELEASENOTE it says CLOCK_REALTIME is same as CLOCK_RTL_SCHED. From the sources I see the latter case is true. In the manpage of clock_get[hr]time() I read the REALTIME clock represents the time since the epoch (the 1/1/1970 epoch?), but what I get is the time since system boot. I couldn't try CLOCK_GPOS since somehow it is undef-ed in my rtl_conf.h. I understand the definition of CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_GPOS. But could someone tell me what CLOCK_REALTIME really represents or what it should represent? What is the difference between the monotonic and realtime clock? Do these clocks all use the same timestamp resolution? Thanks in advance.
