timetrim(1m)

timetrim: get/set kernel SGI timetrim kernel parameter

Showing IRIX 6.5.30 (default release). Added in IRIX 6.5.22.

NAME
     timetrim: get/set kernel SGI timetrim kernel parameter

SYNOPSIS
     To get current timetrim value:
          timetrim
     To set timetrim value:
          timetrim [-n] [[-i] value]

DESCRIPTION
     timetrim allows setting and adjustment of the system clock frequency trim
     parameter on Silicon Graphics machines.  The trim value native units are
     nanoseconds per second (10**-9), so a trim value of 1 makes the system
     clock step ahead 1 nanosecond more per second than a value of zero.
     Xntpd currently uses units of 2**-20 secs for its frequency offset
     (drift) values; to convert to a timetrim value, multiply by 1E9 / 2**20
     (about 954).

     timetrim with no arguments just prints out the current kernel value.
     With a numeric argument, the kernel value is set to the supplied value.
     The "-i" flag causes the supplied value to be added to the kernel value.
     The "-n" option causes all input and output to be in xntpd units rather
     than timetrim native units.
