timetrim: get/set kernel SGI timetrim kernel parameter
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.30. 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. SEE ALSO ntpd(1m)
