DESCRIPTION

     Rdate displays and sets the local date and time from the host name or
     address given as the argument. It uses the RFC868 protocol which is usu-
     ally implemented as a built-in service of inetd(1)

     Available options:

     -p      Do not set, just print the remote time

     -s      Do not print the time.

     -a      Use the adjtime(2) call to gradually skew the local time to the
             remote time rather than just hopping.
