in.daytimed(1M) System Administration Commands in.daytimed(1M)NAMEin.daytimed - UDP or TCP daytime protocol service daemon
SYNOPSISin.daytimed
FMRI
svc:/internet/daytime:default
DESCRIPTION
FMRI stands for Fault Management Resource Identifier. It is used to
identify resources managed by the Fault Manager. See fmd(1M) and
smf(5).
The in.daytimed service provides the server-side of the daytime proto‐
col. This protocol is used for debugging and bandwidth measurement and
is available on both TCP and UDP transports, through port 13.
The in.daytimed service is an inetd(1M)smf(5) delegated service. The
in.daytimed detects which transport is requested by examining the
socket it is passed by the inetd daemon.
TCP-based service
Once a connection is established, the in.daytimed generates the
current date and time in ctime(3C) format as 7-bit ASCII and sends
it through the connection. The server then closes the connection.
Any data received from the client side of the connection is dis‐
carded.
UDP-based service
The in.daytimed listens for UDP datagrams. When a datagram is
received, the server generates the current date and time in
ctime(3C) format as 7-bit ASCII and inserts it in a UDP datagram
sent in response to the client's request. Any received data is
ignored.
