.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]help\f[] [\f\*[I-Font]command_keyword\f[]] A \[oq]?\[cq] by itself will print a list of all the command keywords known to this incarnation of \f\*[B-Font]ntpq. A \[oq]?\[cq] followed by a command keyword will print function and usage information about the command. This command is probably a better source of information about \f\*[B-Font]ntpq than this manual page.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]addvars\f[] \f\*[I-Font]variable_name\f[][\f\*[B-Font]=value\f[]] \f\*[B-Font]...\f[]

.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]clearvars\f[]
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]showvars\f[] The data carried by NTP mode 6 messages consists of a list of items of the form \[oq]variable_name=value\[cq], where the \[oq]=value\[cq] is ignored, and can be omitted, in requests to the server to read variables. The \f\*[B-Font]ntpq utility maintains an internal list in which data to be included in control messages can be assembled, and sent using the \f\*[B-Font]readlist\f[] and \f\*[B-Font]writelist\f[] commands described below. The \f\*[B-Font]addvars\f[] command allows variables and their optional values to be added to the list. If more than one variable is to be added, the list should be comma-separated and not contain white space. The \f\*[B-Font]rmvars\f[] command can be used to remove individual variables from the list, while the \f\*[B-Font]clearlist\f[] command removes all variables from the list. The \f\*[B-Font]showvars\f[] command displays the current list of optional variables.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]authenticate\f[] [yes | no] Normally \f\*[B-Font]ntpq does not authenticate requests unless they are write requests. The command \[oq]authenticate yes\[cq] causes \f\*[B-Font]ntpq to send authentication with all requests it makes. Authenticated requests causes some servers to handle requests slightly differently, and can occasionally melt the CPU in fuzzballs if you turn authentication on before doing a \f\*[B-Font]peer\f[] display. The command \[oq]authenticate\[cq] causes \f\*[B-Font]ntpq to display whether or not \f\*[B-Font]ntpq is currently autheinticating requests.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]cooked\f[] Causes output from query commands to be "cooked", so that variables which are recognized by \f\*[B-Font]ntpq will have their values reformatted for human consumption. Variables which \f\*[B-Font]ntpq thinks should have a decodable value but didn't are marked with a trailing \[oq]?\[cq].
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]debug\f[] [\f\*[B-Font]more\f[] | \f\*[B-Font]less\f[] | \f\*[B-Font]off\f[]] With no argument, displays the current debug level. Otherwise, the debug level is changed to the indicated level.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]delay\f[] \f\*[I-Font]milliseconds\f[] Specify a time interval to be added to timestamps included in requests which require authentication. This is used to enable (unreliable) server reconfiguration over long delay network paths or between machines whose clocks are unsynchronized. Actually the server does not now require timestamps in authenticated requests, so this command may be obsolete.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]exit\f[] Exit \f\*[B-Font]ntpq.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]host\f[] \f\*[I-Font]hostname\f[] Set the host to which future queries will be sent. \f\*[I-Font]hostname\f[] may be either a host name or a numeric address.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]hostnames\f[] [\f\*[B-Font]yes\f[] | \f\*[B-Font]no\f[]] If \f\*[B-Font]yes\f[] is specified, host names are printed in information displays. If \f\*[B-Font]no\f[] is specified, numeric addresses are printed instead. The default is \f\*[B-Font]yes\f[], unless modified using the command line \f\*[B-Font]-n\f[] switch.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]keyid\f[] \f\*[I-Font]keyid\f[] This command allows the specification of a key number to be used to authenticate configuration requests. This must correspond to the \f\*[B-Font]controlkey\f[] key number the server has been configured to use for this purpose.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]keytype\f[] [\f\*[B-Font]md5\f[] | \f\*[B-Font]OpenSSLDigestType\f[]] Specify the type of key to use for authenticating requests. \f\*[B-Font]md5\f[] is alway supported. If \f\*[B-Font]ntpq was built with OpenSSL support, any digest type supported by OpenSSL can also be provided. If no argument is given, the current \f\*[B-Font]keytype\f[] is displayed.
.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]ntpversion\f[] [\f\*[B-Font]1\f[] | \f\*[B-Font]2\f[] | \f\*[B-Font]3\f[] | \f\*[B-Font]4\f[]] Sets the NTP version number which \f\*[B-Font]ntpq claims in packets. Defaults to 3, and note that mode 6 control messages (and modes, for that matter) didn't exist in NTP version 1. There appear to be no servers left which demand version 1. With no argument, displays the current NTP version that will be used when communicating with servers.
.ns
20
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]passwd\f[]
This command prompts you to type in a password (which will not
be echoed) which will be used to authenticate configuration
requests.
The password must correspond to the key configured for
use by the NTP server for this purpose if such requests are to be
successful.

.ns
20 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]timeout\f[] \f\*[I-Font]milliseconds\f[] Specify a timeout period for responses to server queries. The default is about 5000 milliseconds. Note that since \f\*[B-Font]ntpq retries each query once after a timeout, the total waiting time for a timeout will be twice the timeout value set.

.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-4\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--ipv4\f[] Force IPv4 DNS name resolution. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: ipv6. Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line to the IPv4 namespace.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-6\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--ipv6\f[] Force IPv6 DNS name resolution. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: ipv4. Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line to the IPv6 namespace.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-c\f[] \f\*[I-Font]cmd\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--command\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]cmd\f[] run a command and exit. This option may appear an unlimited number of times. The following argument is interpreted as an interactive format command and is added to the list of commands to be executed on the specified host(s).
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-d\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--debug-level\f[] Increase debug verbosity level. This option may appear an unlimited number of times.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-D\f[] \f\*[I-Font]number\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--set-debug-level\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]number\f[] Set the debug verbosity level. This option may appear an unlimited number of times. This option takes an integer number as its argument.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-i\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--interactive\f[] Force ntpq to operate in interactive mode. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: command, peers. Force ntpq to operate in interactive mode. Prompts will be written to the standard output and commands read from the standard input.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-n\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--numeric\f[] numeric host addresses. Output all host addresses in dotted-quad numeric format rather than converting to the canonical host names.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]--old-rv\f[] Always output status line with readvar. By default, ntpq now suppresses the associd=... line that precedes the output of readvar (alias rv) when a single variable is requested, such as ntpq -c "rv 0 offset". This option causes ntpq to include both lines of output for a single-variable readvar. Using an environment variable to preset this option in a script will enable both older and newer ntpq to behave identically in this regard.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-p\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--peers\f[] Print a list of the peers. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: interactive. Print a list of the peers known to the server as well as a summary of their state. This is equivalent to the 'peers' interactive command.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-r\f[] \f\*[I-Font]keyword\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--refid\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]keyword\f[] Set default display type for S2+ refids. This option takes a keyword as its argument. The argument sets an enumeration value that can be tested by comparing them against the option value macro. The available keywords are:
hash ipv4or their numeric equivalent. The default \f\*[I-Font]keyword\f[] for this option is: ipv4 Set the default display format for S2+ refids.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-w\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--wide\f[] Display the full 'remote' value. Display the full value of the 'remote' value. If this requires more than 15 characters, display the full value, emit a newline, and continue the data display properly indented on the next line.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-?\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--help\f[] Display usage information and exit.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-!\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--more-help\f[] Pass the extended usage information through a pager.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]->\f[] [\f\*[I-Font]cfgfile\f[]], \f\*[B-Font]--save-opts\f[] [=\f\*[I-Font]cfgfile\f[]] Save the option state to cfgfile. The default is the last configuration file listed in the OPTION PRESETS section, below. The command will exit after updating the config file.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]-<\f[] \f\*[I-Font]cfgfile\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--load-opts\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]cfgfile\f[], \f\*[B-Font]--no-load-opts\f[] Load options from cfgfile. The no-load-opts form will disable the loading of earlier config/rc/ini files. --no-load-opts is handled early, out of order.
.NOP \f\*[B-Font]--version\f[] [{\f\*[I-Font]v|c|n\f[]}] Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright notice.
NTPQ_<option-name> or NTPQThe environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than) the configuration files. The homerc files are "$HOME", and ".". If any of these are directories, then the file .ntprc is searched for within those directories.
.NOP 0 " (EXIT_SUCCESS)" Successful program execution.
.NOP 1 " (EXIT_FAILURE)" The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid.
.NOP 66 " (EX_NOINPUT)" A specified configuration file could not be loaded.
