+The file provides reading/writing of time keeping registers as well as
+control, control/status and temperature registers of the RTC chip, which
+was setup to 24-hours mode:
+
+- Read Control register
+- Write Control register - disable alarms
+- Read Control/Status register
+- Write Control/Status register - clear alarm's flags
+- Write Alarm 1 registers - set Alarm 1 at every 1st date
+- Write Alarm 2 registers - set Alarm 2 at every minute
