+/* The idea of this program is that you run it once at system boot time,
+ * to set the local RTC to the time received by GPS.  Further synchronization
+ * during system runtime is then handled by ntpd, interfacing with gpsd using
+ * the ntp shared memory protocol.
+ *
+ * However, ntpd is unable to accept a GPS time that's off by more than four
+ * hours from the system RTC, so initial synchronization has to be done
+ * externally.  'ntpdate' is the usual option, but doesn't work if you're
+ * offline.  Thus, this gpsdate utilith was created to fill the gap.
