129.Pp
130The
131.Nm
132utility program is used to query NTP servers to monitor NTP operations
133and performance, requesting
134information about current state and/or changes in that state.
135The program may be run either in interactive mode or controlled using
136command line arguments.
137Requests to read and write arbitrary
138variables can be assembled, with raw and pretty-printed output
139options being available.
140The
141.Nm
142utility can also obtain and print a
143list of peers in a common format by sending multiple queries to the
144server.
145.Pp
146If one or more request options is included on the command line
147when
148.Nm
149is executed, each of the requests will be sent
150to the NTP servers running on each of the hosts given as command
151line arguments, or on localhost by default.
152If no request options
153are given,
154.Nm
155will attempt to read commands from the
156standard input and execute these on the NTP server running on the
157first host given on the command line, again defaulting to localhost
158when no other host is specified.
159The
160.Nm
161utility will prompt for
162commands if the standard input is a terminal device.
163.Pp
164.Nm
165uses NTP mode 6 packets to communicate with the
166NTP server, and hence can be used to query any compatible server on
167the network which permits it.
168Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol
169this communication will be somewhat unreliable, especially over
170large distances in terms of network topology.
171The
172.Nm
173utility makes
174one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if
175the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout
176time.
177.Pp
178Note that in contexts where a host name is expected, a
179.Fl 4
180qualifier preceding the host name forces resolution to the IPv4
181namespace, while a
182.Fl 6
183qualifier forces resolution to the IPv6 namespace.
184For examples and usage, see the
185.Dq NTP Debugging Techniques
186page.
187.Pp
188Specifying a
189command line option other than
190.Fl i
191or
192.Fl n
193will
194cause the specified query (queries) to be sent to the indicated
195host(s) immediately.
196Otherwise,
197.Nm
198will attempt to read
199interactive format commands from the standard input.
200
201.Ss "Internal Commands"
202.Pp
203Interactive format commands consist of a keyword followed by zero
204to four arguments.
205Only enough characters of the full keyword to
206uniquely identify the command need be typed.
207.Pp
208A
209number of interactive format commands are executed entirely within
210the
211.Nm
212utility itself and do not result in NTP
213requests being sent to a server.
214These are described following.
215.Bl -tag -width "help [command]" -compact -offset indent
216.It Ic ? Op Ar command
217.It Ic help Op Ar command
218A
219.Ql \&?
220by itself will print a list of all the commands
221known to
222.Nm .
223A
224.Ql \&?
225followed by a command name will print function and usage
226information about the command.
227.It Ic addvars Ar name Ns Oo \&= Ns Ar value Oc Ns Op ,...
228.It Ic rmvars Ar name Ns Op ,...
229.It Ic clearvars
230.It Ic showvars
231The arguments to this command consist of a list of
232items of the form
233.Ar name Ns Op \&= Ns Ar value ,
234where the
235.No \&= Ns Ar value
236is ignored, and can be omitted,
237in requests to the server to read variables.
238The
239.Nm
240utility maintains an internal list in which data to be included in
241messages can be assembled, and displayed or set using the
242.Ic readlist
243and
244.Ic writelist
245commands described below.
246The
247.Ic addvars
248command allows variables and their optional values to be added to
249the list.
250If more than one variable is to be added, the list should
251be comma-separated and not contain white space.
252The
253.Ic rmvars
254command can be used to remove individual variables from the list,
255while the
256.Ic clearvars
257command removes all variables from the
258list.
259The
260.Ic showvars
261command displays the current list of optional variables.
262.It Ic authenticate Op Cm yes Ns | Ns Cm no
263Normally
264.Nm
265does not authenticate requests unless
266they are write requests.
267The command
268.Ic authenticate Cm yes
269causes
270.Nm
271to send authentication with all requests it
272makes.
273Authenticated requests causes some servers to handle
274requests slightly differently.
275The command
276.Ic authenticate
277causes
278.Nm
279to display whether or not
280it is currently authenticating requests.
281.It Ic cooked
282Causes output from query commands to be "cooked", so that
283variables which are recognized by
284.Nm
285will have their
286values reformatted for human consumption.
287Variables which
288.Nm
289could not decode completely are
290marked with a trailing
291.Ql \&? .
292.It Ic debug Op Cm more Ns | Ns Cm less Ns | Ns Cm off
293With no argument, displays the current debug level.
294Otherwise, the debugging level is changed as indicated.
295.It Ic delay Op Ar milliseconds
296Specify a time interval to be added to timestamps included in
297requests which require authentication.
298This is used to enable
299(unreliable) server reconfiguration over long delay network paths
300or between machines whose clocks are unsynchronized.
301Actually the
302server does not now require timestamps in authenticated requests,
303so this command may be obsolete.
304Without any arguments, displays the current delay.
305.It Ic drefid Op Cm hash Ns | Ns Cm ipv4
306Display refids as IPv4 or hash.
307Without any arguments, displays whether refids are shown as IPv4
308addresses or hashes.
309.It Ic exit
310Exit
311.Nm .
312.It Ic host Op Ar name
313Set the host to which future queries will be sent.
314The
315.Ar name
316may be either a host name or a numeric address.
317Without any arguments, displays the current host.
318.It Ic hostnames Op Cm yes Ns | Ns Cm no
319If
320.Cm yes
321is specified, host names are printed in
322information displays.
323If
324.Cm no
325is specified, numeric
326addresses are printed instead.
327The default is
328.Cm yes ,
329unless
330modified using the command line
331.Fl n
332switch.
333Without any arguments, displays whether host names or numeric addresses
334are shown.
335.It Ic keyid Op Ar keyid
336This command allows the specification of a key number to be
337used to authenticate configuration requests.
338This must correspond
339to the
340.Cm controlkey
341key number the server has been configured to use for this
342purpose.
343Without any arguments, displays the current
344.Ar keyid .
345.It Ic keytype Op Ar digest
346Specify the digest algorithm to use for authenticating requests, with default
347.Cm MD5 .
348If
349.Nm
350was built with OpenSSL support, and OpenSSL is installed,
351.Ar digest
352can be any message digest algorithm supported by OpenSSL.
353If no argument is given, the current
354.Ic keytype Ar digest
355algorithm used is displayed.
356.It Ic ntpversion Op Cm 1 Ns | Ns Cm 2 Ns | Ns Cm 3 Ns | Ns Cm 4
357Sets the NTP version number which
358.Nm
359claims in
360packets.
361Defaults to 3, and note that mode 6 control messages (and
362modes, for that matter) didn't exist in NTP version 1.
363There appear
364to be no servers left which demand version 1.
365With no argument, displays the current NTP version that will be used
366when communicating with servers.
367.It Ic passwd
368This command prompts you to type in a password (which will not
369be echoed) which will be used to authenticate configuration
370requests.
371The password must correspond to the key configured for
372use by the NTP server for this purpose if such requests are to be
373successful.
374.It Ic poll Oo Ar n Oc Op Cm verbose
375Poll an NTP server in client mode
376.Ar n
377times.
378Poll not implemented yet.
379.It Ic quit
380Exit
381.Nm .
382.It Ic raw
383Causes all output from query commands is printed as received
384from the remote server.
385The only formating/interpretation done on
386the data is to transform nonascii data into a printable (but barely
387understandable) form.
388.It Ic timeout Op Ar milliseconds
389Specify a timeout period for responses to server queries.
390The
391default is about 5000 milliseconds.
392Without any arguments, displays the current timeout period.
393Note that since
394.Nm
395retries each query once after a timeout, the total waiting time for
396a timeout will be twice the timeout value set.
397.It Ic version
398Display the version of the
399.Nm
400program.
401.El
402
403.Ss "Control Message Commands"
404Association ids are used to identify system, peer and clock variables.
405System variables are assigned an association id of zero and system name
406space, while each association is assigned a nonzero association id and
407peer namespace.
408Most control commands send a single message to the server and expect a
409single response message.
410The exceptions are the
411.Ic peers
412command, which sends a series of messages,
413and the
414.Ic mreadlist
415and
416.Ic mreadvar
417commands, which iterate over a range of associations.
418.Bl -tag -width "something" -compact -offset indent
419.It Ic apeers
420Display a list of peers in the form:
421.Dl [tally]remote refid assid st t when pool reach delay offset jitter
422where the output is just like the
423.Ic peers
424command except that the
425.Cm refid
426is displayed in hex format and the association number is also displayed.
427.It Ic associations
428Display a list of mobilized associations in the form:

441.El
442.It Ic authinfo
443Display the authentication statistics counters:
444time since reset, stored keys, free keys, key lookups, keys not found,
445uncached keys, expired keys, encryptions, decryptions.
446.It Ic clocklist Op Ar associd
447.It Ic cl Op Ar associd
448Display all clock variables in the variable list for those associations
449supporting a reference clock.
450.It Ic clockvar Oo Ar associd Oc Oo Ar name Ns Oo \&= Ns Ar value Oc Ns Oc Ns Op ,...
451.It Ic cv Oo Ar associd Oc Oo Ar name Ns Oo \&= Ns Ar value Oc Ns Oc Ns Op ,...
452Display a list of clock variables for those associations supporting a
453reference clock.
454.It Ic :config Ar "configuration command line"
455Send the remainder of the command line, including whitespace, to the
456server as a run-time configuration command in the same format as a line
457in the configuration file.
458This command is experimental until further notice and clarification.
459Authentication is of course required.
460.It Ic config-from-file Ar filename
461Send each line of
462.Ar filename
463to the server as run-time configuration commands in the same format as
464lines in the configuration file.
465This command is experimental until further notice and clarification.
466Authentication is required.
467.It Ic ifstats
468Display status and statistics counters for each local network interface address:
469interface number, interface name and address or broadcast, drop, flag,
470ttl, mc, received, sent, send failed, peers, uptime.
471Authentication is required.
472.It Ic iostats
473Display network and reference clock I/O statistics:
474time since reset, receive buffers, free receive buffers, used receive buffers,
475low water refills, dropped packets, ignored packets, received packets,
476packets sent, packet send failures, input wakeups, useful input wakeups.
477.It Ic kerninfo

480estimated error, kernel status, pll time constant, precision,
481frequency tolerance, pps frequency, pps stability, pps jitter,
482calibration interval, calibration cycles, jitter exceeded,
483stability exceeded, calibration errors.
484As with other ntpq output, times are in milliseconds; very small values
485may be shown as exponentials.
486The precision value displayed is in milliseconds as well, unlike the
487precision system variable.
488.It Ic lassociations
489Perform the same function as the associations command, except display
490mobilized and unmobilized associations, including all clients.
491.It Ic lopeers Op Fl 4 Ns | Ns Fl 6

521Display traffic counts of the most recently seen source addresses
522collected and maintained by the monitor facility.
523With the exception of
524.Cm sort Ns \&= Ns Oo \&- Oc Ns Ar sortorder ,
525the options filter the list returned by
526.Xr ntpd 8 .
527The
528.Cm limited
529and
530.Cm kod
531options return only entries representing client addresses from which the
532last packet received triggered either discarding or a KoD response.
533The
534.Cm mincount Ns = Ns Ar count
535option filters entries representing less than
536.Ar count
537packets.
538The
539.Cm laddr Ns = Ns Ar localaddr
540option filters entries for packets received on any local address other than
541.Ar localaddr .
542.Cm resany Ns = Ns Ar hexmask
543and
544.Cm resall Ns = Ns Ar hexmask
545filter entries containing none or less than all, respectively, of the bits in

771.Ss Status Words and Kiss Codes
772The current state of the operating program is shown
773in a set of status words
774maintained by the system.
775Status information is also available on a per-association basis.
776These words are displayed by the
777.Ic readlist
778and
779.Ic associations
780commands both in hexadecimal and in decoded short tip strings.
781The codes, tips and short explanations are documented on the
782.Lk decode.html "Event Messages and Status Words"
783page.
784The page also includes a list of system and peer messages,
785the code for the latest of which is included in the status word.
786.Pp
787Information resulting from protocol machine state transitions
788is displayed using an informal set of ASCII strings called
789.Lk decode.html#kiss "kiss codes" .
790The original purpose was for kiss-o'-death (KoD) packets
791sent by the server to advise the client of an unusual condition.
792They are now displayed, when appropriate,
793in the reference identifier field in various billboards.
