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

NAME
     nnttppttiimmee - read kernel time variables

SYNOPSIS
     nnttppttiimmee [-cchhrr] [-ee esterror] [-ff frequency] [-mm maxerror] [-oo offset]
             [-ss status] [-tt timeconstant]

DESCRIPTION
     The nnttppttiimmee 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 dis-
     plays time-related kernel variables using the ggeettttiimmee() and adjtime(2)
     system calls if available.  A similar display can be obtained using the
     ntpdc(8) program's kkeerrnniinnffoo command.

     The following options are available:

     -cc      Display the execution time of nnttppttiimmee itself.

     -ee esterror
             Specify estimated error, in microseconds.

     -ff frequency
             Specify frequency offset, in parts per million.

     -hh      Display help information.

     -ll      Specify the leap bits as a code from 0 to 3.

     -mm maxerror
             Specify max possible errors, in microseconds.

     -oo offset
             Specify clock offset, in microseconds.

     -rr      Display Unix and NTP times in raw format.

     -ss status

     -tt timeconstant
             Specify time constant, an integer in the range 0-4.
