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 the A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping page.
It reads and displays time-related kernel variables using the
ntp_gettime()
system call. A similar display can be
obtained using the xntpdc
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 times in Unix timeval format. Default is NTP format.
-l
- Specify the leap bits as a code from 0 to 3.
-m max_error
- Display help information.
-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 0-4.
