NAME

     timed -- time synchronization daemon

SYNOPSIS

     timed takes no arguments, and users should not launch it manually.

DESCRIPTION

     timed maintains system clock accuracy by synchronizing the clock with reference clocks via technologies like NTP.	Inputs are merged inside
     of timed, where it calculates uncertainty to facilitate scheduling proactive time jobs. timed is also aware of power/battery conditions.

FILES

     /etc/ntp.conf
		   NTP server configuration.

     /var/db/timed/com.apple.timed.plist
		   The cached state of timed

     /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.timed.plist
		   The timed service's property list file for launchd(8).

HISTORY

     This timed first appeared in Mac OS X 10.13 and iOS 5.0.

NAME

       timedc - Controls the timed daemon

SYNOPSIS

       timedc [command argument ... ]

       The timedc, or timed control program, controls the operation of the timed(8) daemon.

DESCRIPTION

       The  timedc program can be used to perform the following tasks: Measure the differences between machines' clocks.  Find the location of the
       master time server.  Enable or disable tracing of messages received by the timed daemon.  Debug.

       Without any arguments, timedc prompts for commands from the standard input.  If arguments are supplied, timedc interprets the  first  argu-
       ment  as  a  command and the remaining arguments as arguments to the command.  The standard input may be redirected, causing timedc to read
       commands from a file.

       The timedc commands can be abbreviated.	The following is a list of recognized commands: Prints a short description of each command  speci-
       fied  in  the argument list, or, if no arguments are given, prints a list of the recognized commands.  Computes the differences between the
       clock of the host machine and the clocks of the machines given as arguments.  This command is only valid  for  machines	whose  clocks  are
       within  12 hours of the host machine clock.  Machines whose clocks are more than 12 hours different from the host machine clock will report
       incorrect time differences.  Enables or disables the tracing of incoming messages to timed in  the  file  /var/adm/timed.log.   Exits  from
       timedc.	Reports the hostname of the master timed server in use.
