Getdate can query and/or set the date/time from an Internet RFC 868
server. Getdate uses adjtime() to safely update the local date while
a system is fully up. For example, you might used it if you want to
copy a remote machines date/time after establishing a PPP connection.

Title: getdate
Version: 1.0
Entered-date: Mon Oct 23 16:38:51 NZDT 1995
Description: Query an RFC 868 time server and adjust/set local date/time.
Useful for querying and copying the date/time from other
Internet hosts. Will work correctly across time zones.
Uses the UNIX adjtime() call so that it can be safely set up
as a cron job. Can reject hosts that respond slowly, or that
vary too greatly from the local time.
Keywords: RFC-868 date time remote
