35 Semiconductor (CMOS) clock. If the hardware clock is set to UTC, this
36 script will convert the hardware clock's time to the local time using
37 the <filename>/etc/localtime</filename> file (which tells the
38 <command>hwclock</command> program which timezone the user is in). There
39 is no way to detect whether or not the hardware clock is set to UTC, so
