NAME
rtc - real-time clock and non-volatile RAM

SYNOPSIS
bind #r /dev

/dev/rtc
/dev/nvram

DESCRIPTION
The rtc device supports devices with real-time clocks and non-volatile RAM.

The rtc file behaves just like /dev/time (see cons(3)). The real-time clock is maintained on-board; /dev/time is set from the file server. Neither is necessarily more accurate.

The nvram file provides (if permission allows) access to the local non-volatile RAM. For example, boot(8) reads the machine's key from there (see auth(8)).

SEE ALSO
auth(8), boot(8)
