NAME
in.daytimed - UDP or TCP daytime protocol service daemon
SYNOPSIS
in.daytimed
FMRI
svc:/internet/daytime: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.daytimed service provides the server-side of the daytime protocol. This protocol is used for debugging and bandwidth measurement and
is available on both TCP and UDP transports, through port 13.
The in.daytimed service is an inetd(1M) smf(5) delegated service. The in.daytimed 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.daytimed generates the current date and time in ctime(3C) format as 7-bit ASCII and sends it
through the connection. The server then closes the connection. Any data received from the client side of the connection is discarded.
UDP-based service
The in.daytimed listens for UDP datagrams. When a datagram is received, the server generates the current date and time in ctime(3C)
format as 7-bit ASCII and inserts it in a UDP datagram sent in response to the client's request. Any received data is ignored.
