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  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 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.
