HWCLOCK(5)               Debian Administrator's Manual              HWCLOCK(5)

NAME
       hwclock  -  variables  that  affect  the  behaviour of the hwclock boot
       script

DESCRIPTION
       The /etc/default/rcS file contains variable settings in POSIX format:

            VAR=VAL

       Only one assignment is allowed per line.  Comments (starting with  '#')
       are also allowed.

OPTIONS
       The following variables can be set.

       BADYEAR
              This  is used to specify that the hardware clock is incapable of
              storing years outside the range of 1994-1999.  Set to yes if the
              hardware is broken or no if working correctly.

       HWCLOCKACCESS
              If  the  hardware  clock  is not accessible, set to no, in which
              case hwclock will not be run.  Otherwise, set to yes.

       HWCLOCKPARS
              Additional options for hwclock.  Unset by default.  For example,
              this  may  be use to specify the machine hardware clock type for
              Alphas.

       HCTOSYS_DEVICE
              The hardware clock device you want to use.   Defaults  to  rtc0.
              It  should  probably  match the CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE kernel
              config option.
