hardware-clock synchronization
 
hi

How do i synchronize hardware-clock with system-clock without using 'hwclock' and 'NTP'?
Is there any way to do this job with programming?

Look for adjtimex function

No sorry, adjtimex is for system clock (as NTP, NTP doesn't deal with your RTC).
Take a look to the ioctl provided for /dev/rtc, or download "hwclock" sources to see how it does the job.

2 Q's:
OP,
I'm curious (not critical), why the objection to hwclock?
(Does it relate to:)

Anyone,
Is there anyway to get the actual, the raw, BIOS h/w clock time from the CLI? In other words to verify that it is set to UTC as I intend & have told hwclock?

I have read the hwclock man page & I don't see any way to do this. If I am reading it correctly, I tell hwclock which I think it, the BIOS clock, is set to, but there is no way to verify that my intentions have been carried out (& not changed), short of rebooting & checking the BIOS Setup.
