DESCRIPTION

       Implements the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Version 2 as defined by the IEEE 1588-2008 standard. PTP was
       developed to provide very precise time coordination of LAN connected computers.

       PTPd is a complete implementation of the IEEE 1588 v2 specification for a standard (ordinary) clock. PTPd
       has been tested with and is known to work properly with other IEEE 1588 implementations. The source  code
       for  PTPd  is  freely  available  under  a BSD-style license. Thanks to contributions from users, PTPd is
       becoming an increasingly portable, interoperable, and stable IEEE 1588 implementation.

OPTIONS

       -?     display a short help text

       -B     enable debugging if it has been previously compiled in

       -c     run in command line (non-daemon) mode

       -C     run in command line mode and display statistics and logs

       -S     do not log information to syslog

       -f FILE
              send output to FILE

       -R FILE
              record a quality FILE

       -D     display stats in .csv format

       -x     do not reset the clock if off by more than one second

       -M NUMBER
              do not accept delay values of more than NUMBER nanoseconds

       -O NUMBER
              do not reset the clock if offset is more than NUMBER nanoseconds

       -P     display packets received for debugging purposes

       -t     do not adjust the system clock

       -T     set multicast TTL for packets.  Defaults to 1.

       -a NUMBER,NUMBER
              specify clock servo P and I attenuations

              specify one way delay filter stiffness

       -b NAME
              bind PTP to network interface NAME

       -u ADDRESS
              also send uni-cast to ADDRESS

       -I     multicast group for PTP_EXPERIMENTAL mode

       -U     enable hybrid mode which uses both unicast and multicast, requires PTP_EXPERIMENTAL

       -e     run in ethernet mode (currently unimplemented)

       -h     run in End to End mode

       -l NUMBER,NUMBER
              specify inbound, outbound latency in nsec

       -o NUMBER
              specify current UTC offset

       -i NUMBER
              specify PTP domain number

       -n NUMBER
              specify announce interval in 2^NUMBER sec

       -y NUMBER
              specify sync interval in 2^NUMBER sec

       -m NUMBER
              specify max number of foreign master records

       -N NUMBER
              announce receipt timeout

       -V     limit displaying statistics by setting the seconds between log messages

       -g     run as slave only

       -v NUMBER
              specify system clock allen variance

       -r NUMBER
              specify system clock accuracy

       -s NUMBER
              specify system clock class

       -p NUMBER
              specify priority1 attribute

       -q NUMBER
              specify priority2 attribute

       -G     run as master with connection to NTP

       -W     run as master without NTP

       -Y NUMBER
              set an initial delay request value

       -L     enable running multiple ptpd daemons

       -j     turn off IGMP refresh messages
