SNTP 8
NAME
sntp - simple network time protocol client
SYNOPSIS
ip/sntp [
-di ]
[
server ]
DESCRIPTION
Sntp is a simple client for the Simple Network Time Protocol (RFC1361).
It requests the time from the SNTP service on
server (default:
udp!$ntp!ntp ), and if it receives a plausible reply,
sets the local time accordingly, in both
rtc (3) and
/dev/time . The
-d option prints debugging text, including the time received;
the
-i option stops
sntp from actually updating the local time.
