NTPTIME(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						NTPTIME(8)

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 in /usr/share/doc/html/ntp/kern.html. It reads and displays time-related kernel variables using the ntp_gettime(2) system call. A similar dis- play 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 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. AUTHORS
