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
The ntptime utility is useful only with special kernels described in the" A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping" page (available as part of the HTML documentation provided in /usr/share/doc/ntp). It reads and displays time-related kernel variables using the gettime() and adjtime(2) system calls if available. A similar display can be obtained using the ntpdc(8) program's kerninfo command.
The following options are available:
- -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
- -t time_constant
-
Specify time constant, an integer in the range 0-4.
