... Driver ID: LOCAL . This is a hack to allow a machine to use its own system clock as a reference clock, i.e., to free-run using no outside clock discipline source. ... Another application for this driver is if a particular server clock is to be used as the clock of last resort when all other normal synchronization sources have gone away. ... This driver provides a mechanism to trim the local clock in both time and frequency, as well as a way to manipulate the leap bits. ... Not used by this driver. ...
