💅 hpisettime — the OpenHPI clock-setter bestie

hey bestie, welcome to the hpisettime(1) page from the OpenHPI crew 🫶 this is the little sample app that excercises the Event Log clock APIs — yes that's the original spelling, no I will not be fixing it, it's iconic 💀

Basically: this is how you tell the Event Log clock a whole new date and time. Main character energy for your timestamps ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so there are two ways to run her — the short-flag way and the long-flag way, pick your vibe:

hpisettime [-D nn] [-N host[:port]] [-C <cfgfile>] -d mm/dd/yyyy -t HH:MM:SS [-X] [-h]
hpisettime [--domain=nn] [--host=host[:port]] [--cfgfile=file] --date=mm/dd/yyyy --time=HH:MM:SS [--debug] [--help]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

hpisettime sets a brand-new date and time for the Event Log clock. that's the whole gig, she's a specialist 💅

If no domain is selected, hpisettime uses a session with the default domain. and here's the little caveat you cannot skip, ngl: the selected domain id must be configured via the openhpidclient.conf file specified in the environment. no conf, no domain, you get it 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Help Options:

• -h, --help — show help options. the "what does anything mean" button, we love her 🙈

Application Options:

• -d mm/dd/yyyy, --date=mm/dd/yyyy — new date. month/day/year, in that order, don't fight it 🗓️
• -t 24:12:60, --time=24:12:60 — new time of day, in 24-hr format 🕛 (yes the example literally says 24:12:60, that's what's printed, and I'm just the messenger bestie 💀)
• -D nn, --domain=nn — select domain id nn 👑
• -X, --debug — display debug messages. turn it on when things are giving nothing and you need the receipts 🔍
• -N "host[:port]", --host="host[:port]" — open a session to the domain served by the daemon at the specified URL (host:port). This option overrides the OPENHPI_DAEMON_HOST and OPENHPI_DAEMON_PORT environment variables. If host contains : (for example an IPv6 address) then enclose it in square brackets. For example: "[::1]" or "[::1]:4743" 🦋
• -C "file", --cfgfile="file" — use the passed file as the client configuration file. This option overrides the OPENHPICLIENT_CONF environment variable 📁
