hwclock(hardware clock)
hwclock(hardware clock)功能说明:显示与设定硬件时钟。
语 法:hwclock [--adjust][--debug][--directisa][--hctosys][--show][--systohc][--test]
[--utc][--version][--set --date=<日期与时间>]
补充说明:在Linux中有硬件时钟与系统时钟等两种时钟。硬件时钟是指主机板上的时钟设备,也就是通常可在BIOS画面设定的时钟。系统时钟则是指kernel中的时钟。当Linux启动时,系统时钟会去读取硬件时钟的设定,之后系统时钟即独立运作。所有Linux相关指令与函数都是读取系统时钟的设定。
参 数:
--adjust hwclock每次更改硬件时钟时,都会记录在/etc/adjtime文件中。使用--adjust参数,可使hwclock根据先前的记录来估算硬件时钟的偏差,并用来校正目前的硬件时钟。
--debug 显示hwclock执行时详细的信息。
--directisa hwclock预设从/dev/rtc设备来存取硬件时钟。若无法存取时,可用此参数直接以I/O指令来存取硬件时钟。
--hctosys 将系统时钟调整为与目前的硬件时钟一致。
--set --date=<日期与时间> 设定硬件时钟。
--show 显示硬件时钟的时间与日期。
--systohc 将硬件时钟调整为与目前的系统时钟一致。
--test 仅测试程序,而不会实际更改硬件时钟。
--utc 若要使用格林威治时间,请加入此参数,hwclock会执行转换的工作。
--version 显示版本信息。
hwclock
hwclock [option]
System administration command. Read or set the hardware clock. This command maintains change information in /etc/adjtime, which can be used to adjust the clock based on how much it drifts over time. hwclock replaces the clock command. The single-letter options are included for compatibility with the older command.
Options
You may specify only one of the following options:
Adjust the hardware clock based on information in /etc/adjtime and set the system clock to the new time.
Print the kernel's hardware clock epoch value, then exit.
Print the current time stored in the hardware clock.
Set the system time in accordance with the hardware clock.
Set the hardware clock's epoch to year.
Set the hardware clock to the specified date, a string appropriate for use with the date command.
Print version and exit.
Set the hardware clock in accordance with the system time.
The following may be used with the above options.
Print information about what hwclock is doing.
The hardware clock is stored in local time.
Disable /etc/adjtime facilities.
Do not actually change anything. This is good for checking syntax.
The hardware clock is stored in Universal Coordinated Time.
