Syntax
void bin2bcd (unsigned long value , struct bcd * p );
For a definition of struct bcd, see bcd2bin , above.
Example
void f(void)
{
struct bcd digits;
unsigned long value;
...
value = 1234;
bin2bcd(value, &digits);
// digits.d1 now contains 0
// digits.d2 now contains 0
// digits.d3 now contains 1
// digits.d4 now contains 2
// digits.d5 now contains 3
// digits.d6 now contains 4
}
clear_status( ) Function
The clear_status( ) function clears a subset of the information in the status
structure (see the retrieve_status( ) function on page 125). The information
cleared is the statistics information, the reset cause register, and the error log.
Syntax
#include
void clear_status (void);
Example
when (timer_expires(statistics_reporting_timer))
{
retrieve_status(status_ptr); // get current statistics
report_statistics(status_ptr); // check it all out
clear_status();
}
clr_bit( ) Function
The clr_bit( ) function clears a bit in a bit array pointed to by array . Bits are
numbered from left to right in each byte, so that the first bit in the array is the
most significant bit of the first byte in the array. Like all arrays in C, this first
element corresponds to index 0 ( bitnum 0). When managing a number of bits
that are all similar, a bit array can be more code-efficient than a series of
bitfields because the array can be accessed using an array index rather than
separate lines of code for each bitfield. See also the set_bit( ) function and the
tst_bit( ) function.
