+.Sh NAME
+.Nm hardclock
+.Nd real-time system clock
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/systm.h
+.Ft void
+.Fo hardclock
+.Fa "struct clockframe *frame"
+.Fc
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn hardclock
+implements the real-time system clock, interrupting
+.Xr hz 9
+times a second.
+The argument
+.Fa frame
+is an opaque, machine dependent structure that encapsulates the
+previous machine state.
+.Pp
+.Fn hardclock
+performs a variety of time related housekeeping tasks, such as:
+.Bl -bullet -offset indent
+.It
+If the current process has virtual or profiling interval
+timers, update the timers and deliver appropriate signals.
+.It
+If there is no separate statistics clock, execute
+.Fn statclock .
+.It
+Increment the time of day, implementing any adjustments requested by
+.Xr adjtime 2
+or required as a result of running an NTP daemon or other configured
+external clock.
+.It
+Update the real-time timeout queue, calling
+.Fn softclock
+directly if the current interrupt priority is low enough.
