+# RealtimeSanitizer
+RealtimeSanitizer detects non-deterministic execution time calls in realtime contexts.
+Usafe of RTSan is on a function-by-function basis. The sanitizer only inspects code that
+is marked as being real-time sensitive. This is done with the `sanitize` attribute.
+Any function that is subject to real-time contraints should be marked with `#[sanitize(realtime = "on")]`.
+
+Besides "on" the attribute can also be used with "off", "blocking" and "caller".
+- "off" disables the sanitizer for this function. Not real-time sensitive operations in this
+function aren't detected anymore.
+- "blocking" marks the function as having a non-deterministic execution time. When reaching such
+a function while in a real-time context a violation will be reported.
+- "caller" is the default if no attribute is present, but can also be set explicitly. These functions
+will be sanitized if called from a function that was being sanitized and will not be sanitized if called
+from a function not sanitized. So any given function could be both sanitized and not sanitized in one program execution.
+
+See the [Clang RealtimeSanitizer documentation][clang-rtsan] for more details.

+#[sanitize(realtime = "on")]
