NAME
       timedatex - D-Bus service for system clock and RTC settings
SYNOPSIS
       timedatex
DESCRIPTION
       timedatex  is a D-Bus service that implements the org.freedesktop.time-
       date1 interface. It can be used to read and set the system  clock,  the
       real-time  clock  (RTC),  the system timezone, and enable or disable an
       NTP client installed on the system. It is a replacement  for  the  sys-
       temd-timedated service.
       The  system clock is read and set with microsecond resolution, the pre-
       cision is limited mostly by D-Bus latency. When setting the clock to an
       absolute time, a correction is applied for the time spent in the polkit
       authorization check. The clock can be also  adjusted  precisely  by  an
       offset.
       The RTC is read with a resolution of one second. The hwclock program is
       used to set the RTC with a high precision, update the estimated  drift,
       and change the UTC/LOCAL setting.
       The system timezone is set by creating symlink /etc/localtime to a file
       in the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory.
       NTP units that should be controlled by timedatex need to be  listed  in
       text files in /etc/systemd/ntp-units.d and /usr/lib/systemd/ntp-units.d
       directories.  The first valid unit from the files sorted by name can be
       enabled/disabled  and started/stopped. Other NTP units will be disabled
       and stopped.
