16*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
17*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions[in host-control send right]
18*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsThe control port for the host owning the
19*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsclock.

22*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
23*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions[in scalar]
24*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsThe identification of the desired kernel clock.  These values
25*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsare defined in \*L<mach/clock_types.h>\*O.  Although an implementation
26*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsmay define additional values, the following values are always defined
27*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions(although only the REALTIME clock is required to be implemented):
28*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dl>
29*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
30*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>REALTIME_CLOCK</strong>
31*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
32*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsA moderate resolution clock service that (typically) tracks
33*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionstime since the system last boot.
34*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
35*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>BATTERY_CLOCK</strong>
36*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
37*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsA (typically) low resolution clock (to the second) that
38*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionssurvives power failures or service outages.
39*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
40*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dt> <strong>HIGHRES_CLOCK</strong>
41*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
42*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsA high resolution clock.

45*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dt> <var>clock_control</var>
46*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<dd>
47*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions[out clock-control send right]
48*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsControl port for the clock.

50*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<h3>DESCRIPTION</h3>
51*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
52*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsThe <strong>host_get_clock_control</strong> function returns a send
53*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsright to the control port for
54*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsa kernel clock object.  This right is used to set the clock's
55*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributionsresolution and time.
56*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<h3>RETURN VALUES</h3>
57*c54f35caSApple OSS Distributions<p>
58*c54f35caSApple OSS DistributionsOnly generic errors apply.
