Hi, I'm looking into real-time clocks. I'm wondering why the POSIX clock_* and timer_* APIs are not used for RTCs. E.g., I expected that you would be able to just use: struct timespec now; clock_gettime (MY_RTC_DEVICE, &now); to read the time from a RTC device. There even appears to be an easy way to register auxiliary clocks in kernel/posix-timers.c. Instead, Documentation/rtc.txt describes the "ioctl" API that is to be used instead. Is there a motivation for not using the POSIX functions for RTCs? Or is there a code path between the two that I did not see?
