SYNOPSIS

10       ntptime [ -MNchr ] [ -e est_error ] [ -f frequency ] [ -m max_error ] [
11       -o offset ] [ -s status ] [ -t time_constant] [ -T tai_offset ]

DESCRIPTION

15       This program is useful only with special kernels  described  in  the  A
16       Kernel  Model  for  Precision  Timekeeping  page. It reads and displays
17       time-related kernel variables using the ntp_gettime()  system  call.  A
18       similar  display  can  be obtained using the ntpdc program and kerninfo
19       command.

OPTIONS

23       -c      Display the execution time of ntptime itself.
24
25       -e est_error
26               Specify estimated error, in microseconds.
27
28       -f frequency
29               Specify frequency offset, in parts per million.
30
31       -h      Display help information.
32
33       -m max_error
34               Specify max possible errors, in microseconds.
35
36       -o offset
37               Specify clock offset, in microseconds.
38
39       -r      Display Unix and NTP times in raw format.
40
41       -s status
42               Specify clock status. Better know what you are doing.
43
44       -t time_constant
45               Specify time constant, an integer in the range 0-10.
46
47       -M      Switch to microsecond mode.
