                     26: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     27: .I Timedc
                     28: is used to control the operation of the \fItimed\fP program.
                     29: It may be used to:
                     30: .IP \(bu
                     31: measure the differences between machines' clocks,
                     32: .IP \(bu
                     33: find the location where the master time server is running,
                     34: .IP \(bu
                     35: enable or disable tracing of messages received by \fItimed\fP, and
                     36: .IP \(bu
                     37: perform various debugging actions.

                     41: will prompt for commands from the standard input.
                     42: If arguments are supplied,
                     43: .IR timedc
                     44: interprets the first argument as a command and the remaining
                     45: arguments as parameters to the command.  The standard input
                     46: may be redirected causing
                     47: .I timedc
