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. +.TP +.B \-n +Turns off the printing of host names; instead, host IP addresses are given. This may be useful if a nameserver is down. +.TP +.B \-r \fIretries\fR +Sets the number of retransmission attempts for each host (default = 5). +.TP +.B \-t \fItimeout\fR +Sets the retransmission timeout (in seconds) (default = 2). +.TP +.B \-v +Prints verbose information about the NTP servers. .SH BUGS This program makes no attempt to improve accuracy by doing multiple samples. |
