Without any arguments, timedc will prompt for commands from the standard input. If arguments are supplied, timedc interprets the first argument as a command and the remaining arguments as parameters to the command. The standard input may be redirected causing timedc to read commands from a file. Commands may be abbreviated; recognized commands are:
Ic ? Op Ar command ...
Ic help Op Ar command ... Print a short description of each command specified in the argument list, or, if no arguments are given, a list of the recognized commands.
Ic clockdiff Ar host ... Compute the differences between the clock of the host machine and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.
Ic msite Op Ar host ... Show the master time server for specified host(s).
Xo
Ic election Ar host Asks the daemon on the target host to reset its "election" timers and to ensure that a time master has been elected.
Ic quit Exit from timedc.
Other commands may be included for use in testing and debugging timed (;) the help command and the program source may be consulted for details.
