Function isrealtimeclock - is a real time clock installed
Syntax int isrealtimeclock(void);
Prototype in ibm.h
Remarks isrealtimeclock() detects if a real time clock is
installed.
Return value returns 1 if a real time clock is installed, 0 if
it is not, and -1 if this function is not
supported.
Note the 1/10/86 XT BIOS returns an incorrect value for
this function, so if the machine is an IBM XT or
compatible with a BIOS date of 1/10/86, do not use
this function.
Example #include <ibm.h>
main()
{
printf("real time clock: ");
switch (isrealtimeclock()) {
case -1: printf("Error"); break;
case 0: printf("No"); break;
case 1: printf("Yes"); break;
}
