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