+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.B Rdate
+uses TCP or UDP to retrieve the current time of another machine using
+using the protocol described in RFC 868.
+The time for each system is returned in
+ctime(3) format. The following is an example:
+.nf
+.IP ""
+% rdate uci mc
+[uci]   Sun Mar 24 20:35:41 1985
+[mc]    Sun Mar 24 20:36:19 1985
+.fi
+.SS OPTIONS
+.TP
+.I \-p
+Print the time retrieved from the remote machines.  This is the default
+mode.
+.TP
+.I \-s
+Set the local system time from the time retrieved from the remote
+machine.  This, quite naturally, is only effective for root.
+.TP
+.I \-u
+Use UDP to retrieve the time instead of TCP.
+The client will timeout if no reply is received within 5 seconds.
+.SH FILES
+.nf
+/etc/services  map service name to socket number
+/etc/hosts     map host name to internet address
