NAME
       readclock - read the real time clock [IBM PC/AT and AMIGA]

SYNOPSIS
       readclock

EXAMPLES
       date `/usr/bin/readclock` </dev/tty
			   # Useful in /etc/rc

DESCRIPTION
       Readclock reads the AT's real time clock and prints the result in a form useful to date, namely, MMDDYYhhmmss.  If the clock does not exist
       (e.g., on a PC), it outputs '-q' to query the user for the time.  The example given above can be put in /etc/rc to load the real time  when
       the system is booted.
