TimeZoneRule

This is an 0x4000-byte struct. Official sw uses fixed-size 0x4000 for the buffer size with the above commands.

This is loaded from the TimeZoneBinary title with the specified LocationName under the zoneinfo/ directory, the content is then converted into this TimeZoneRule structure.

The files contained under zoneinfo/ directory are Tzif2 files without Tzif1 header and data at the begining of them (see RFC8536 for more information).

The conversion of a Tzif2 file to a TimeZoneRule structure is based on tz database code with some custom modifications (Leap seconds aren't handled, no usage of "posixrules" and Tzif1 support stripped out).

RequestLoad

Takes a #SharedFontType (uint32), no output.

GetLoadState

Takes a #SharedFontType (uint32), returns the #LoadState (uint32).

LoadState

Value	Description
0x00	Loading
0x01	Loaded

Takes a #SharedFontType (uint32), returns the offset (uint32) to the Font Address.

GetSharedMemoryNativeHandle

No input, returns an output SharedMemory handle.

User-processes map this SharedMemory with size=0x1100000 and permissions=R--.

Font data is TTF, located at the offset returned by #GetSharedMemoryAddressOffset.

GetSharedFontInOrderOfPriority

Takes an input u64 LanguageCode and 3 type-0x6 output buffers, returns an output u8 and u32. The u8 is a bool to specify if the fonts are loaded or not and the u32 is the font count. The first buffer contains a list of Shared font types, the second buffer contains the font offsets and the final buffer contains the font sizes. The buffers are an array of u32s which specify information about a specific font. Buffer1[n] is related to Buffer2[n] and Buffer3[n]. Example: Font index 0s offset is at Buffer2[0], size is at Buffer3[0]. The fonts are relative to the shared memory created by #GetSharedFontSharedMemoryHandle

0x0A	0xE(7*2)	Array of 7 entries where each entry is 2-bytes. Index is nn::time::DayOfWeek, Sun-Sat.

Array entries:

Each byte is set using an input s32. An entry with value 0xFFFF (the default) indicates that it's disabled. The high byte is the hour, the low byte is the minute. This uses local-time.

sdknso checks whether an entry is enabled with: return ({last 5-bits of the entry} < 3) && ((entry & 0xfc) < 60);. The first check is equivalent to comparing the second entry byte with value 24.
