hwclock
Usage:
hwclock [function] [option...]
Time clocks utility.
Functions:
-r, --show display the RTC time
--get display drift corrected RTC time
--set set the RTC according to --date
-s, --hctosys set the system time from the RTC
-w, --systohc set the RTC from the system time
--systz send timescale configurations to the kernel
-a, --adjust adjust the RTC to account for systematic drift
--param-get <param> display the RTC parameter
--param-set <param>=<value> set the RTC parameter
--predict predict the drifted RTC time according to --date
Options:
-u, --utc the RTC timescale is UTC
-l, --localtime the RTC timescale is Local
-f, --rtc <file> use an alternate file to /dev/rtc0
--directisa use the ISA bus instead of /dev/rtc0 access
--date <time> date/time input for --set and --predict
--delay <sec> delay used when set new RTC time
--update-drift update the RTC drift factor
--noadjfile do not use /etc/adjtime
--adjfile <file> use an alternate file to /etc/adjtime
--test dry run; implies --verbose
-v, --verbose display more details
-h, --help display this help
-V, --version display version
Arguments:
<param> is either a numeric RTC parameter value or one of these aliases:
- features: supported features (0x0)
- correction: time correction (0x1)
- bsm: backup switch mode (0x2)
See Kernel's include/uapi/linux/rtc.h for parameters and values.
<param> and <value> accept hexadecimal values if prefixed with 0x, otherwise decimal.
