NAME
       ntptime - read and set 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.
