24  * This is an example program demonstrating how to use the TimeTCPClient
25  * and TimeUDPClient classes. It's very similar to the simple Unix rdate
26  * command. This program connects to the default time service port of a
27  * specified server, retrieves the time, and prints it to standard output.
28  * The default is to use the TCP port. Use the -udp flag to use the UDP
29  * port. You can test this program by using the NIST time server at
30  * 132.163.135.130 (warning: the IP address may change).
31  * <p>
32  * Usage: rdate [-udp] <hostname>
