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	 theA
       Kernel  Model  for  Precision  Timekeepingpage.	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.
