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.
