The cmos(HW) command allows you to do this. The manual entry is in the Hardware section rather than Commands, which is probably why you didn't find it. I'll take this opportunity to plug a little-known but very helpful section of the manual, the permuted index. It is a listing of the titles of all the manual entries in the operating system, development system, and text processing manuals, permuted so that each word of every title is listed alphabetically. It is a great place to look if you are trying to find a command to do something, but you don't know the name of the command or the section of the manual it is in.
