setclk -- set system time from hardware clock

Synopsis

/sbin/setclk

Description

setclk is used to set the internal system time from the hardware time-of-day clock. The command can be used only by a privileged user. It is normally executed by an entry in the /etc/inittab file when the system is initialized at boot time. Note that setclk checks the Nonvolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) only for the date. If the date is set, setclk runs silently. If the date is not set, setclk prompts the user to use date(1).
