NAME

       dioddate - get server system time

SYNOPSIS

       dioddate [OPTIONS] [-s NAME] [file [file...]]

DESCRIPTION

       dioddate  obtains  the  current  system  time  and  zone information from a diod server by
       reading ctl:date.  If the --set-time option is specified, sets the local  system  time  on
       the client; otherwise prints the server time on stdout.

       This  is  a  simple  way  to  obtain  rough  time  synchronization before issuing a MUNGE-
       authenticated attach request, for example in  a  bootstrap  environment  where  the  "ctl"
       synthetic file system is exported with the "noauth" option.

OPTIONS

       -s, --server NAME
              The   server   in   IP[:PORT],   HOST[:PORT],   or  /path/to/socket  form  (default
              localhost:564).

       -m, --msize SIZE
              The maximum request size including 9P headers (default 65536).

       -u, --uid UID
              Try to attach to the server as the specified user (default your effective uid).

       -t, --timeout SECS
              Force timeout after specified number of seconds (default no timeout).

       -S, --set-time
              Set the local system time to match the server's time.
