systeemtijd

Systeemtijd, also known as system time or system clock, refers to the time maintained by a computer's operating system. It is distinct from the time displayed on a user's device, which can be adjusted by the user or through time zone settings. The system time is crucial for various functions within an operating system, including scheduling tasks, logging events, and synchronizing with network time protocols (NTP). It is typically set during the initial setup of a computer and can be adjusted by the user or automatically through synchronization with external time sources. Inaccurate system time can lead to issues with data integrity, security, and the proper functioning of applications and services. To ensure accuracy, many systems are configured to regularly synchronize their system time with reliable external time servers.
