<listitem><para>Takes a boolean argument. If
<literal>0</literal>, the system is configured to maintain the
RTC in universal time. If <literal>1</literal>, it will
maintain the RTC in local time instead. Note that maintaining
the RTC in the local timezone is not fully supported and will
create various problems with time zone changes and daylight
saving adjustments. If at all possible, keep the RTC in UTC
mode. Note that invoking this will also synchronize the RTC
from the system clock, unless
<option>--adjust-system-clock</option> is passed (see above).
This command will change the 3rd line of
<filename>/etc/adjtime</filename>, as documented in
