DCMD_PTPD_GET_TIME

Get the current time

Synopsis:

#include <dcmd_ptpd.h>

#define DCMD_PTPD_GET_TIME   __DIOF(_DCMD_NET, 15, MyTimeInternal )

Arguments to devctl():

Argument Value
filedes A file descriptor that you obtained by opening /dev/ptpd
dcmd DCMD_PTPD_GET_TIME
dev_data_ptr A pointer to a MyTimeInternal
n_bytes sizeof(MyTimeInternal)
dev_info_ptr NULL

Description:

(QNX Neutrino 7.0 or later) This command gets the current time that's maintained by the Precision Time Protocol.

Note: In order to use this command, you must specify the -K option when you start ptpd or ptpd-avb.

Input:

None.

Output:

A filled-in MyTimeInternal structure, which is defined in <dcmd_ptpd.h> as follows:

typedef struct {
        uint32_t seconds;
        uint32_t nanoseconds;
} MyTimeInternal;

Example:

MyTimeInternal curr_time;

if(devctl(fd, DCMD_PTPD_GET_TIME, &curr_time, sizeof(curr_time), NULL) != EOK)
{
   /* Error */
}
