I can guess, but no, I don't know. Look at "man hwclock" and friends.
Basically, it calculates how much the cmos clock deviates from the "real"
time as kept by the system since last time, and calculates a factor to
compensate the cmos clock drift, to be applied on next boot (actually,
next time you copy the time from cmos to system),
