in.daytimed(1M)		System Administration Commands	       in.daytimed(1M)

NAME
       in.daytimed - UDP or TCP daytime protocol service daemon

SYNOPSIS
       in.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.
