aica_rtc_settimeofday(9)

💖 aica_rtc_settimeofday — it's giving "set the clock, bestie" ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about aica_rtc_settimeofday(9) — literally the function that sets the AICA RTC to the current time. yes, that's the whole vibe. stay with me 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

aica_rtc_settimeofday — Set the AICA RTC to the current time ⏰

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int aica_rtc_settimeofday (struct device *dev , struct rtc_time *tm );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap. int going in, int coming out, two args in the middle. slay 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the RTC device. and bestie… it's ignored. the function literally does not care. it's giving "you're here but you're not the main character" 🤷‍♀️
• tm — pointer to the new RTC time structure. this one actually matters, it's the whole point of the function, look at her go ⭐

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: it adjusts the given tv to the AICA Epoch, and then it sets the RTC seconds counter. that's it. that's the function. lowkey iconic in how straightforward it is 🙈

heads up — the arg up top is called tm but the description says tv. that's how it's written, don't come for me, I'm just the messenger 💀

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Kernel file ./arch/sh/boards/mach-dreamcast/rtc.c — the actual source, go read her, she's right there 👑
• aica_rtc_gettimeofday(9) — the other half of the duo. the getter to this setter. the way they're a matched set 😭💜

and that's the page, bestie! 🍓 this cutie came out of ./arch/sh/boards/mach-dreamcast with a date of October 2026, so if you're reading this from the future — hi, ily, hope your RTC is accurate 🧚💖
