===============
chrony is a versatile implementation of the Network Time Protocol (NTP).
It can synchronize the system clock with NTP servers, reference clocks
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.

=== What is the real-time clock (RTC)?
This is the clock which keeps the time even when your computer is turned off.

It is used to initialise the system clock on boot. It normally doesn't drift
more than few seconds per day.
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
still be close to the true time when the system clock will be initialized from

The other option is to use the `rtcfile` directive, which tells `chronyd` to
