There doesn't seem to be a gettime(1) man page.
Path of associated program: /etc/athena/gettime
Since this is an Athena program and the man page is not in our current
sources, I will quickly describe it; I leave it to documentation to
polish this up and make it more verbose :-)
usage: /etc/athena/gettime [-s] machine
gettime will get the current time on the named machine. If the -s
option is specified, it will also set the time on the local machine to
that of the remote machine (time changes are only permitted to the
superuser).
Currently, this is being invoked in /etc/rc to adjust the workstation's
clock at reboot time. However, this may change in the near future
(several time-setting daemons are now being tested/used).
see also:
date(1) gettimeofday(2) timed(8) rc(8)
timed(8) and date(1) may also want to list gettime(1) in the "see also".
