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

ntptime
read kernel time variables

ntptime [-chr] [-e est_error] [-f frequency] [-m max_error] [-o offset] [-s status] [-t time_constant]

This program is useful only with special kernels described in the A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping page in /usr/share/doc/html/ntp/kern.html. It reads and displays time-related kernel variables using the ntp_gettime(2) system call. A similar display can be obtained using the ntpdc program and kerninfo command.

Display the execution time of ntptime itself.
est_error
Specify estimated error, in microseconds.
frequency
Specify frequency offset, in parts per million.
Display times in Unix timeval format. Default is NTP format.
Specify the leap bits as a code from 0 to 3.
max_error
Display help information.
offset
Specify clock offset, in microseconds.
Display Unix and NTP times in raw format.
status
Specify clock status. Better know what you are doing.
time_constant
Specify time constant, an integer in the range 0-4.
