from man pages:

hwclock (8)          - query and set the ISA hardware clock (RTC)

DESCRIPTION
       hwclock is a tool for accessing the Hardware  Clock.   You
       can  display the current time, set the Hardware Clock to a
       specified time, set the Hardware Clock to the System Time,
       and set the System Time from the Hardware Clock.

       You  can also run hwclock periodically to insert or remove
       time from the Hardware Clock to compensate for  systematic
       drift (where the clock consistently gains or loses time at
       a certain rate if left to run).
and lastly:
$ dpkg -S hwclock
util-linux: /sbin/hwclock
util-linux: /usr/man/man8/hwclock.8.gz
