.SH NAME
ntptime \- read kernel time variables
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ntptime
[ -chr ] [ -e \fIest_error\fR ] [ -f \fIfrequency\fR ] [ -m \fImax_error\fR ] [ -o \fIoffset\fR ] [ -s \fIstatus\fR ] [ -t \fItime_constant\fR ] 
.SH 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.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-c
Display the execution time of ntptime itself.
.TP
-e \fIest_error\fR
Specify estimated error, in microseconds.
.TP
-f \fIfrequency\fR
Specify frequency offset, in parts per million.
.TP
-h
Display help information.
.TP
-m \fImax_error\fR
Specify max possible errors, in microseconds.
.TP
-o \fIoffset\fR
Specify clock offset, in microseconds.
.TP
-r
Display Unix and NTP times in raw format.
.TP
-s \fIstatus\fR
Specify clock status. Better know what you are doing.
.TP
-t \fItime_constant\fR
Specify time constant, an integer in the range 0-10.
