This command allows for the entry of date information.
Notice that this is an example that the results of the user’s choice can be reflected into an NVRAM
storage location. See 6.2 to learn more about NVRAM configuration and to better understand how this
works programmatically.
Also notice that date and time are the two functions that are likely to be included in a system for
user input, yet not stored in a traditional NVRAM storage location. In this case, the destination is likely
an RTC. This example shows the storage location as being NULL. Date and time are special cases
where the storage location being NULL is translated into a call to the RTC (if available). In all other
cases, a NULL parent will force the data the user inputs to be thrown away.
Example: date year varid = NULL.Year,
prompt = STR_DATE,
help = STR_DATE_YEAR_HELP,
min = 1939,
max = 2076,
step = 1,
default = 2002;
month varid = NULL.Month,
prompt = STR_DATE,
help = STR_DATE_MONTH_HELP,
min = 1,
max = 12,
step = 1,
default = 1;
day varid = NULL.Day,
prompt = STR_DATE,
help = STR_DATE_DAY_HELP,
min = 1,
max = 31,
step = 1,
default = 1;
