| .SH NAME |
| tlsdated.conf \- tlsdated config file |
| .SH SYNTAX |
| \fBtlsdated.conf\fR is the configuration file for the \fBtlsdated(8)\fR daemon. |
| The config file is formatted as a list of key-value pairs, one per line, |
| separated by whitespace. Whitespace inside values is preserved, so |
| .RS |
| foo bar baz quxx |
| .RE |
| represents the key \fBfoo\fR mapping to the value \fBbar baz quxx\fR. Empty |
| lines and lines beginning with \fB#\fR are ignored; leading whitespace on lines |
| is stripped. For boolean options, the value \fByes\fR or no value at all |
| indicates that the option should be switched on, and all other values indicate |
| that the option should be switched off. \fINote that trailing whitespace is |
| preserved in values.\fR |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .IP "base-path [string]" |
| Sets the path to tlsdated's cache directory. |
| .IP "dry-run [bool]" |
| If enabled, don't actually adjust the system time. |
| .IP "jitter [int]" |
| Add or subtract up to this many seconds from the steady-state interval when |
| checking. This helps prevent correlation between sequential checks and smooth |
| load on time hosts. |
| .IP "max-tries [int]" |
| How many times to try running the tlsdate subprocess. |
| .IP "min-steady-state-interval [int]" |
| Do not check more than once this many seconds when in steady state. |
| .IP "should-load-disk [bool]" |
| If enabled, try loading the current timestamp out of the cache directory. |
| .IP "should-netlink [bool]" |
| If enabled, use a netlink socket to get network events; otherwise, read network |
| events from stdin. |
| .IP "should-save-disk [bool]" |
| If enabled, save the current timestamp to the cache directory every so often and |
| at exit. |
| .IP "should-sync-hwclock [bool]" |
| If enabled, set the hwclock to the fetched time. |
| .IP "steady-state-interval [int]" |
| Check at least once this many seconds when in steady state. |
| .IP "subprocess-timeout [int]" |
| How many seconds to wait for the subprocess to exit. |
| .IP "verbose [bool]" |
| If enabled, tlsdated will be annoyingly verbose in syslog and on stdout. |
| .IP "wait-between-tries [int]" |
| How long to wait between runs of the subprocess. |
| .SH SOURCES |
| You can list one or more sources to fetch time from. The format of these is: |
| .RS 4 |
| source |
| .RS 4 |
| host www.example.com |
| .br |
| port 443 |

| proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 |
