unified command line switch:

    -rtc [base=utc|localtime|date][,driftfix=none|slew]

Use it if you experience time drift problem in Windows with ACPI HAL.
This option will try to figure out how many timer interrupts were not
processed by the Windows guest and will re-inject them.

Set the real time clock to local time (the default is to UTC
time). This option is needed to have correct date in MS-DOS or
Windows.

@item -startdate @var{date}
Set the initial date of the real time clock. Valid formats for
@var{date} are: @code{now} or @code{2006-06-17T16:01:21} or
@code{2006-06-17}. The default value is @code{now}.
@item -rtc [base=utc|localtime|@var{date}][,driftfix=none|slew]
Specify @option{base} as @code{utc} or @code{localtime} to let the RTC start at the current
UTC or local time, respectively. @code{localtime} is required for correct date in
MS-DOS or Windows. To start at a specific point in time, provide @var{date} in the
format @code{2006-06-17T16:01:21} or @code{2006-06-17}. The default base is UTC.
Enable @option{driftfix} (i386 targets only) if you experience time drift problems,
specifically with Windows' ACPI HAL. This option will try to figure out how
many timer interrupts were not processed by the Windows guest and will
re-inject them.
