✨ NAME ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s6-taiclockd [-i ip] [-p port]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so s6-taiclockd is a long-lived program — like, it's here for the long haul — and it listens to the network and answers TAICLOCK clients such as s6-taiclock(8). 💖

it listens to all network addresses on UDP port 4014. no cap. 👑

whenever it receives a TAICLOCK request, it answers immediately with the TAI time given by its local system clock. the way that it just responds right away?? obsessed. ⏱️✨

it runs until killed by a signal. periodt. 💀

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -i ip — bind to ip instead of all available addresses. ip can be IPv4 or IPv6. 🌈
  • -p port — bind to port instead of 4014. 🍓
