Setdatetime() - VeriFone MX800 series Programmer's Manual

setDateTime()

NOTE
As user processes are not allowed to set the Linux RTC, applications must call
setDateTime() passing the date and time in the same format used in the shell
command date.
Format: MMDDhhmmYYYY.ss
•
MM = Month
•
DD = Day
•
hh = Hour (24-hour format)
•
mm = Minute
•
YYYY = Year
•
ss = Seconds
setDateTime only sets the Linux RTC. To set the H/W RTC, application must
follow setDateTime with a call to setRTC.
