Description

It is not clear which date and time is returned by rtems_clock_get_tod(). For example which time zone is used. Is there a relation to UTC?

The timezone is the one you used when you set the time with the set call. If the time is not set this function returns RTEMS_NOT_DEFINED. It is assumed you set a suitable time in the first place and know the specific context of use.

This ticket does not have a patch attached or an obvious (to me) fix. What is the fix proposed?

We need a more precise documentation of the time services. How are leap seconds handled for example? UNIX time vs. UTC.

The wall clock time services lack documentation in general. What is the relation between rtems_time_of_day and the UNIX time as specified by IEEE Std 1003.1, 2013 Edition, 4.15 Seconds Since the Epoch (​http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/). For example _TOD_To_seconds() does not use the expression in this standard document. This affects rtems_timer_fire_when().

Can you provide a specific link? That is to the top of the standard.
