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 con‐
nection is discarded.
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.
