NAME
ntptime - read kernel time variables
SYNOPSIS
ntptime [ -chr ] [ -e est_error ] [ -f frequency ] [ -m max_error ] [ -o offset ] [ -s status ] [ -t time_constant ]
DESCRIPTION
This program is useful only with special kernels described in theA Kernel Model for Precision Timekeepingpage. It reads and displays time-related kernel variables using the ntp_gettime() system call. A similar display can be obtained using the ntpdc program and kerninfo command.
OPTIONS
| -c | Display the execution time of ntptime itself. |
| -e | est_error Specify estimated error, in microseconds. |
| -f | frequency Specify frequency offset, in parts per million. |
| -h | Display help information. |
| -m | max_error Specify max possible errors, in microseconds. |
| -o | offset Specify clock offset, in microseconds. |
| -r | Display Unix and NTP times in raw format. |
| -s | status Specify clock status. Better know what you are doing. |
| -t | time_constant
Specify time constant, an integer in the range 0-10.
