NAME

       in.timed - UDP or TCP time protocol service daemon

SYNOPSIS

       in.timed

       FMRI
       svc:/internet/time:default

DESCRIPTION

       FMRI  stands  for  Fault  Management  Resource  Identifier.  It is used to identify resources managed by the Fault Manager. See fmd(1M) and
       smf(5).

       The in.timed service provides the server-side of the time protocol. The time server sends to requestors the time in seconds since midnight,
       January 1, 1900. The time protocol is available on both TCP and UDP transports through port 37.

       The in.timed service is an inetd(1M) smf(5) delegated service. The in.timed detects which transport is requested by examining the socket it
       is passed by the inetd daemon.

       TCP-based service

	   Once a connection is established, the in.timed sends the time as a 32-bit binary number and closes the connection. Any received data is
	   ignored.

       UDP-based service

	   The	in.timed  listens  for	UDP  datagrams.  When a datagram is received, the server generates a UDP datagram containing the time as a
	   32-bit binary number and sends it to the client. Any received data is ignored.
