NAME¶
hwclock - variables that affect the behaviour of the hwclock boot script
DESCRIPTION¶
The
/etc/default/rcS file contains variable settings in POSIX format:
-
- VAR=VAL
Only one assignment is allowed per line. Comments (starting with '#') are also
allowed.
OPTIONS¶
The following variables can be set.
- BADYEAR
- This is used to specify that the hardware clock is
incapable of storing years outside the range of 1994-1999. Set to
yes if the hardware is broken or no if working correctly.
- HWCLOCKACCESS
- If the hardware clock is not accessible, set to no,
in which case hwclock will not be run. Otherwise, set to yes.
- HWCLOCKPARS
- Additional options for hwclock. Unset by default. For
example, this may be use to specify the machine hardware clock type for
Alphas.
- HCTOSYS_DEVICE
- The hardware clock device you want to use. Defaults to
rtc0. It should probably match the CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE kernel
config option.
