* man pages: Fix misuse of two-fonts-macros (BR, IR)Bjarni Ingi Gislason2018-08-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Change a two-fonts-macro to the single font one, when there is only one genuine argument. Split a punctuation mark from the only argument to a two-fonts-marco. Remove an isolated two-fonts-macro. Signed-off-by: Bjarni Ingi Gislason <bjarniig@rhi.hi.is>
* hwclock: remove ntpd from man pageKarel Zak2018-07-311-7/+4Star
| | | | | | | | It seems better to use generic "NTP daemon" in the man page than points to specific ntpd(1) implementation as some distros use for example chronyd(1) rather than old ntpd(1). Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
* hwclock: add --delay <seconds>Karel Zak2018-07-181-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | * add command line option --delay <seconds> * read RTC type from /sys/class/rtc/rtc<N>/name * default to 0.5 (500ms) for rtc_cmos or when RTC type is impossible determine; otherwise delay is 0. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>
* hwclock: rename --debug option to --verboseJ William Piggott2018-01-171-5/+10
| | | | | | | | | Warn on --debug; do not fallthrough because the message is lost in the verbose output. Coauthored-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>
* hwclock: make debug implicit for test mode.J William Piggott2017-09-211-4/+4
| | | | | | | Calling --test without --debug is not useful, so make it implicit. Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>
* hwclock: add -a that is short of --adjust to manual page and usageSami Kerola2017-09-051-1/+1
| | | | | | In same go use -V as return value of --version from getopts_long(). Signed-off-by: Sami Kerola <kerolasa@iki.fi>
* hwclock: remove sysexits.hJ William Piggott2017-09-031-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | sysexits.h was introduced in v2.11t prior to util-linux-ng, with the HISTORY entry: * hwclock: minor polishing. So there was no specific issue solved by adding it. Its use was never documented so it should be safe to remove. Also, fix return values being used for the exit status that were not magic constants (portability issue). Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>
* hwclock: update man pageJ William Piggott2017-08-041-6/+20
| | | | | | | | | | Add information about setting the Hardware Clock if it has been corrupted. Add information about --update-drift and reduced system shutdown times for --systohc. Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>
* hwclock: remove m68k and alpha cmos from manualJ William Piggott2017-07-311-9/+0Star
| | | | | | | m68k removed in commit 846c7d3 alpha cmos removed in commit c47a618 Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>
* hwclock: --epoch presence test failsJ William Piggott2017-07-161-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | hwclock --setepoch --epoch 0 Will warn that the epoch option is required. The --epoch presence test is made on its argument after it is converted to an integer. This means any value it can be tested for, can also be given as an input. So make the conversion after the presence test, like the --date option does. Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>
* hwclock: sync one-liner descriptionsJ William Piggott2017-07-101-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Make whatisdb/manpage and usage() one-line descriptions match. Also update the description; hwclock has evolved into much more than reading and setting the Hardware Clock. It also sets the System Clock, warps the System Clock, sets the kernel time configurations, and more. Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>
* hwclock: add --update-drift checkJ William Piggott2017-06-211-2/+1Star
| | | | | | Only allow --update-drift for --set or --systohc Signed-off-by: J William Piggott <elseifthen@gmx.com>
* hwclock: allow -l as alias for --localtimeRasmus Villemoes2017-05-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | For symmetry with --utc where a short form is already allowed, and to make it easier to write scripts that will work with both util-linux' and busybox' hwclock, make -l another spelling of --localtime. (Busybox also understands --localtime, but only if it has been compiled with long option support.)

* hwclock: remove --compare optionSami Kerola2017-02-051-6/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | Compare functionality was printing nonsense values. There is no knowledge of anyone using this broken functionality. Instead of deprecating the code for months, and removing it after few release, it is removed immediately. Needless to say this is unusual removal.

* hwclock: don't allow non-root accessKarel Zak2015-05-261-15/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fortunately very few people are crazy enough to install hwclock as setuid. Some comments in code and unfortunately also man page advertising that setuid is no problem. That's pretty stupid promise. The code quality is poor and it's obviously not designed to be secure (things like popen() without drop privileges, etc.). This patch removes all notes about "setuid support" and for sure disable hwclock execution for non-root users.

* hwclock: clean up man page headerKarel Zak2015-04-281-17/+3Star

* hwclock: man-page errataJ William Piggott2015-03-131-22/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | The information I wrote regarding clock crystals was not only incomplete, it was wrong. The characteristics of quartz crystals is beyond the scope of this man-page.
