NAME

       hwclock - variables that affect the behaviour of the hwclock boot script

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/default/rcS file contains variable settings in POSIX format:

            VAR=VAL

       Only one assignment is allowed per line.  Comments (starting with '#') are also allowed.

OPTIONS

       The following variables can be set.

       BADYEAR
              This is used to specify that the hardware clock is incapable of storing years outside the range of
              1994-1999.  Set to yes if the hardware is broken or no if working correctly.

       HWCLOCKACCESS
              If the hardware clock is not accessible, set to no,  in  which  case  hwclock  will  not  be  run.
              Otherwise, set to yes.

       HWCLOCKPARS
              Additional  options  for  hwclock.  Unset by default.  For example, this may be use to specify the
              machine hardware clock type for Alphas.

       HCTOSYS_DEVICE
              The hardware clock device you want to use.  Defaults  to  rtc0.   It  should  probably  match  the
              CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE kernel config option.
