+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para><filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename> is a system service
+    that may be used to synchronize the local system clock with a
+    remote Network Time Protocol server. It also saves the local time
+    to disk every time the clock has been synchronized and uses this
+    to possibly advance the system realtime clock on subsequent
+    reboots to ensure it monotonically advances even if the system
+    lacks a battery-buffered RTC chip.</para>
+
+    <para>The <filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename> service
+    specifically implements only SNTP. This minimalistic
+    service will set the system clock for large offsets or
+    slowly adjust it for smaller deltas. More complex use
+    cases are not covered by <filename>systemd-timesyncd</filename>.</para>
+
+    <para>The NTP servers contacted are determined from the global
+    settings in
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>timesyncd.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
+    the per-link static settings in <filename>.network</filename>
+    files, and the per-link dynamic settings received over DHCP. See
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for more details.</para>
+
+    <para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
+    <command>set-ntp</command> command may be used to enable and
+    start, or disable and stop this service.</para>
+
+    <para><citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>'s
+    <command>timesync-status</command> or <command>show-timesync</command> command can be used to show the
+    current status of this service.</para>
