+  file (either 'UTC' or 'LOCAL') to determine whether the hwclock
+  is in UTC or localtime.

     CLOCKMODE=GMT indicates that the clock is set to UTC
     CLOCKMODE=ARC on alpha only indicates the ARC console's

       Indicates that the hardware clock is set to UTC.
     UTC=no,false
       Indicates that the hardware clock is set to Local Time.
