time client

A time client is a software component that connects to a time server to accurately obtain the current time. Think of it as a digital timekeeper that seeks a trusted source to synchronize clocks across a network. This ensures all devices or systems share the same, precise time, which is crucial for scheduling, logging events, or coordinating activities. The time client sends a request to the time server, receives the current time data, and adjusts its own clock accordingly, maintaining consistency and accuracy in time-dependent processes.
