ntptime(8)                  System Manager's Manual                 ntptime(8)

NAME
       ntptime - read and set kernel time variables

SYNOPSIS
       ntptime [ -MNchr ] [ -e est_error ] [ -f frequency ] [ -m max_error ] [
       -o offset ] [ -s status ] [ -t time_constant] [ -T tai_offset ]

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.
       -M      Switch to microsecond mode.
       -N      Switch to nanosecond mode.
       -T tai_offset
               Set TAI offset.
