|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program displays information about the running
|
|
.Xr ntpd 8
|
|
daemon.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "-s modifierX"
|
|
.It Fl s Cm all | peers | Sensors | status
|
|
Used to display information about the running daemon.
|
|
Keywords may be abbreviated.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cm all
|
|
shows all data available.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cm peers
|
|
shows the following information about each peer: weight, trustlevel,
|
|
stratum, number of seconds until the next poll, polling interval
|
|
in seconds, and offset, network delay and network jitter in milliseconds.
|
|
When the system clock is synced to a peer, an asterisk
|
|
is displayed to the left of the weight column for that peer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cm Sensors
|
|
shows the following information about each sensor: weight, sensor "good"
|
|
status, stratum, and offset and the configured correction in
|
|
milliseconds.
|
|
When the system clock is synced to a sensor, an asterisk
|
|
is displayed to the left of the weight column for that sensor.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Cm status
|
|
shows the status of peers and sensors, and whether the system clock is synced.
|
|
When the system clock is synced, the stratum is displayed.
|
|
When the system clock is not synced, the offset of the system clock,
|
|
as reported by the
|
|
.Xr adjtime 2
|
|
system call, is displayed.
|
|
When the median constraint is set, the offset to the local time is displayed.
