The `tickadj` program reads, and optionally modifies, several
timekeeping-related variables. It uses the adjtimex(2) system call.
-These tweaks are almost never necessary on hardware new enough
-to have a fully POSIX.1-2001-conformant Unix. This utility exists
-mainly for backward compatibility to old scripts.
+These tweaks are almost never necessary on hardware new enough to have
+a fully POSIX.1-2001-conformant Unix. This utility is deprecated and
+exists mainly for backward compatibility to old scripts. In the future
+it may be removed or merged into a more general tuning tool.
The particular variables that can be changed with `tickadj` include
`tick`, which is the number of microseconds added to the system time
