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.
