.TH RTC 3
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
rtc \- real-time clock and non-volatile RAM
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B bind #r /dev
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B /dev/rtc
|
||
|
|
.br
|

|
|
.B /dev/nvram
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.I rtc
|
||
|
|
device supports devices
|
||
|
|
with real-time clocks and non-volatile RAM.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B rtc
|
||
|
|
file behaves just like
|
||
|
|
.BR /dev/time
|
||
|
|
(see
|
||
|
|
.IR cons (3)).
|
||
|
|
The real-time clock is maintained on-board;
|
||
|
|
.B /dev/time
|
||
|
|
is set from the file server. Neither is necessarily more accurate.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B nvram
|
||
|
|
file provides (if permission allows)
|
||
|
|
access to the local non-volatile RAM.
|
||
|
|
For example,
|
||
|
|
.IR boot (8)
|
||
|
|
reads the machine's key
|
||
|
|
from there
|
||
|
|
(see
|
||
|
|
.IR auth (8)).
