/* 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.
