Further synchronization * during system runtime is then handled by ntpd, interfacing with gpsd using * the ntp shared memory protocol. * * However, ntpd is unable to accept a GPS time that's off by more than four * hours from the system RTC, so initial synchronization has to be done * externally. 'ntpdate' is the usual option, but doesn't work if you're * offline. Thus, this gpsdate utilith was created to fill the gap. */ #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #include #define NUM_RETRIES 60 /* Number of gpsd re-connects */ #define RETRY_SLEEP 1 /* Seconds to sleep between re-connects */ static struct gps_data_t gpsdata; static void callback(struct gps_data_t *gpsdata) { struct timeval tv; time_t time; int rc; if (!(gpsdata->set & TIME_SET)) return; tv.tv_sec = gpsdata->fix.time; /* FIXME: use the fractional part for microseconds */ tv.tv_usec = 0; time = tv.tv_sec; rc = settimeofday(&tv, NULL); gps_close(gpsdata); if (rc == 0) { syslog(LOG_NOTICE, "Successfully set RTC time to GPSD time:" " %s", ctime(&time)); closelog(); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); } else { syslog(LOG_ERR, "Error setting RTC: %d (%s)\n", errno, strerror(errno)); closelog(); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } } int main(int argc, char **argv) { char *host = "localhost"; int i, rc; openlog("gpsdate", LOG_PERROR, LOG_CRON); if (argc > 1) host = argv[1]; for (i = 1; i <= NUM_RETRIES; i++) { printf("Attempt #%d to connect to gpsd at %s...\n", i, host); rc = gps_open(host, DEFAULT_GPSD_PORT, &gpsdata); if (!rc) break; sleep(RETRY_SLEEP); } if (rc) { syslog(LOG_ERR, "no gpsd running or network error: %d, %s\n", errno, gps_errstr(errno)); closelog(); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } gps_stream(&gpsdata, WATCH_ENABLE|WATCH_JSON, NULL); gps_mainloop(&gpsdata, 5000000, callback); gps_close(&gpsdata); closelog(); exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); }
