    <title>Description</title>

    <para><command>timedatectl</command> may be used to query and change the system clock and its settings,
    and enable or disable time synchronization services.</para>

    <para>Use
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
    to initialize the system time zone for mounted (but not booted)
    system images.</para>

    <para><command>timedatectl</command> may be used to show the current status of time synchronization
    services, for example
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-timesyncd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
    </para>

    <para>The following commands are understood:</para>

    <variablelist>
      <varlistentry>
        <term><command>status</command></term>

        <listitem><para>Show current settings of the system clock and RTC, including whether network time
        synchronization is active. If no command is specified, this is the implied default.
        </para>

        <xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v195"/></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><command>show</command></term>

        <listitem><para>Show the same information as <option>status</option>, but in machine readable form.
        This command is intended to be used whenever computer-parsable output is required.
        Use <option>status</option> if you are looking for formatted human-readable output.</para>
        <para>By default, empty properties are suppressed. Use <option>--all</option> to show those too.
        To select specific properties to show, use <option>--property=</option>.</para>

        <xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v239"/></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><command>set-time [TIME]</command></term>

        <listitem><para>Set the system clock to the specified timestamp. This will also update the RTC time
        accordingly. The timestamp may be specified in the format <literal>2012-10-30 18:17:16</literal>. See
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.time</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>
        for more details about acceptable timestamp format.</para>

      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><command>set-timezone [TIMEZONE]</command></term>

        <listitem><para>Set the system time zone to the specified
        value. Available timezones can be listed with
        <command>list-timezones</command>. If the RTC is configured to
        be in the local time, this will also update the RTC time. This
        call will alter the <filename>/etc/localtime</filename>
        symlink. See
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>localtime</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
        for more information.</para>

      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><command>list-timezones</command></term>

        <listitem><para>List available time zones, one per line.
        Entries from the list can be set as the system timezone with
        <command>set-timezone</command>.</para>

      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><command>set-local-rtc [BOOL]</command></term>

        <listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. If
        <literal>0</literal>, the system is configured to maintain the
        RTC in universal time. If <literal>1</literal>, it will
        maintain the RTC in local time instead. Note that maintaining
        the RTC in the local timezone is not fully supported and will
        create various problems with time zone changes and daylight
        saving adjustments. If at all possible, keep the RTC in UTC
        mode. Note that invoking this will also synchronize the RTC
        from the system clock, unless
        <option>--adjust-system-clock</option> is passed (see above).
        This command will change the 3rd line of
        <filename>/etc/adjtime</filename>, as documented in
        <citerefentry project='man-pages'><refentrytitle>hwclock</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><command>set-ntp [BOOL]</command></term>

        <listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. Controls whether network time synchronization is active and
        enabled (if available). If the argument is true, this enables and starts the first existing network
        synchronization service. If the argument is false, then this disables and stops the known network
        synchronization services. The way that the list of services is built is described in
        <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-timedated.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
