+It can synchronise the system clock with NTP servers, reference clocks
 (e.g. GPS receiver), and manual input using wristwatch and keyboard.
 It can also operate as an NTPv4 (RFC 5905) server and peer to provide
 a time service to other computers in the network.

 There are two approaches how `chronyd` can work with it. One is to use the
 `rtcsync` directive, which tells `chronyd` to enable a kernel mode which sets
 the RTC from the system clock every 11 minutes. `chronyd` itself won't touch
 the RTC. If the computer is not turned off for a long time, the RTC should
