Description
The clock compare operation returns the difference between the clocks on the local machine and a DTS server in the cell. If a server is not specified, the
command picks the last responding server returned by dts catalog. An optional argument compares a remote host's clock against a DTS server. An optional -server option
compares the clock against a specific DTS server.
The DTS server that responds to this operation may be communicating directly with an external time provider. If so, the provider attribute returned by this operation will be set to yes.
