+<h1> The <tt>s6-clock</tt> program </h1>
+
+<p>
+ s6-clock gets or sets the system clock.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Interface </h2>
+
+<pre>
+ s6-clock [ <em>label</em> ]
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+ When called without an argument, s6-clock writes the current system
+time, as a
+<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/libstddjb/tai.html#timestamp">TAI64N
+timestamp</a>, to stdout.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ When given an argument <em>label</em>, which must be a
+<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/libstddjb/tai.html#timestamp">TAI64N
+timestamp</a>, s6-clock sets the system time to this value.
+</p>
+
+<h2> Notes </h2>
+
+<p>
+ s6-clock only prints or accepts TAI time, no matter what the system clock is set
+to (TAI-10 or UTC); it will automatically make the right conversions for your
+system clock. Make sure your
+<a href="http://skarnet.org/software/skalibs/">skalibs</a> has been built with
+the right settings.
