All times are given in seconds. Note that the stratum is the server hop count to the primary source, while the synchronization distance is the estimated error relative to the primary source. These terms are precisely defined in RFC-1305. .SH OPTIONS .TP -.B \-d -Turns on some debugging output. +.B \-m \fImax_hops\fR +Sets the number of server hops to follow (default = 99). .TP .B \-n -Turns off the printing of host names; instead, host IP addresses are given.
