# hpisettime(1)

This sample openhpi application excercises Event Log clock APIs.

## NAME

hpisettime - This sample openhpi application excercises Event Log clock APIs.

## SYNOPSIS

```
 hpisettime [-D nn] [-N host[:port]] [-C <cfgfile>] -d mm/dd/yyyy -t HH:MM:SS [-X] [-h]
 hpisettime [--domain=nn] [--host=host[:port]] [--cfgfile=file] --date=mm/dd/yyyy --time=HH:MM:SS [--debug] [--help]
```

## DESCRIPTION

hpisettime sets new date and time for the Event Log clock.

If no domain is selected, hpisettime uses a session with the default domain. The selected domain id must be configured via the openhpidclient.conf file specified in the environment.
