-s, --hctosys set the system time from the hardware clock
-w, --systohc set the hardware clock from the current system time
--systz set the system time based on the current timezone
--adjust adjust the RTC to account for systematic drift since

--getepoch print out the kernel's hardware clock epoch value
--setepoch set the kernel's hardware clock epoch value to the
value given with --epoch
--predict predict RTC reading at time given with --date
-V, --version display version information and exit
Options:
-u, --utc the hardware clock is kept in UTC

--date <time> specifies the time to which to set the hardware clock
--epoch <year> specifies the year which is the beginning of the
hardware clock's epoch value
--noadjfile do not access /etc/adjtime; this requires the use of
