Set the Hardware Clock from the System Clock, and update the timestamps in _{ADJTIME_PATH}_. With the *--update-drift* option also (re)calculate the drift factor. Try it without the option if *--systohc* fails. See *--update-drift* below.
+*--vl-read*, *--vl-clear*::
+Some RTC devices are able to monitor the voltage of the backup battery and thus provide a way for the user to know that the battery should be replaced. The *--vl-read* function retrieves the Voltage Low information and decodes the result into human-readable form. The *--vl-clear* function resets the Voltage Low information, which is necessary for some RTC devices after a battery replacement.

+See the Kernel's _include/uapi/linux/rtc.h_ for details on which pieces of information may be returned. Note that not all RTC devices have this monitoring capability, nor do all drivers necessarily support reading the information.
