If the new copy validates, it is installed and 32NTP is (optionally) restarted. 33.Pp 34If the current file is acceptable, no download or restart occurs. 35.Pp 36-c can also be used to invoke another script to perform administrative 37functions, e.g. to copy the file to other local systems. 38.PP 39This can be run as a cron job. As the file is rarely updated, and leap 40seconds are announced at least one month in advance (usually longer), it 41need not be run more frequently than about once every three weeks. 42.PP 43For cron\-friendly behavior, define CRONJOB=1 in the crontab. 44.PP 45This script depends on$REQUIREDCMDS 46.Sh "OPTIONS" 47.Bl -tag 48.It Fl s Ar string , Fl \-source\-url Ns = Ns Ar string 49The URL of the master copy of the leapseconds file. 50.sp 51Specify the URL of the master copy to download 52$LEAPSRC 53.It Fl 4 , Fl \-ipv4 54Use only IPv4 addresses for DNS name resolution. 55This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: 56ipv6. 57.sp 58 Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line 59 to the IPv4 namespace. 60 _EndOfDoc_; 61}; 62.sp 63flag = { 64 name = ipv6; 65 flags\-cant = ipv4, prefer; 66 value = 6; 67 descrip = "Use only IPv6 addresses for DNS name resolution"; 68 doc = <<\- _EndOfDoc_ 69 Force DNS resolution of following host names on the command line 70 to the IPv6 namespace. 71 _EndOfDoc_; 72}; 73.sp 74flag = { 75 name = prefer; 76 flags\-cant = ipv4, ipv6; 77 value = p; 78 arg\-type = keyword; 79 keyword = 4, 6; 80 descrip = 'Prefer IPv4 or IPv6 (as specified) addresses, but use either'; 81 doc = <<\- _EndOfDoc_ 82Prefer IPv4 or IPv6 (as specified) addresses, but use either. 83.It Fl d Ar float , Fl \-destination Ns = Ns Ar float 84Filename on the local system. 85.sp 86The name to use to store the leapfile on the local system. 87$LEAPFILE 88.It Fl e Ar string , Fl \-expiration Ns = Ns Ar string 89Refresh the leapfile this long before it expires. 90.sp 91Specify how long before expiration the file is to be refreshed 92Units are required, e.g. "\-e 60 days" Note that larger values 93imply more frequent refreshes. 94"$PREFETCH" 95.It Fl f Ar string , Fl \-ntp\-conf\-file Ns = Ns Ar string 96Location of the ntp.conf file. 97.sp 98Specify location of ntp.conf (used to make sure leapfile directive is 99present and to default leapfile) 100/etc/ntp.conf 101.It Fl F , Fl \-force\-update 102Force update of the leapfile. 103.sp 104Force update even if current file is OK and not close to expiring. 105.It Fl \-dont\-wait 106Don't wait for keystroke between plots. 107.sp 108.It Fl \&? , Fl \-help 109Display usage information and exit. 110.It Fl \&! , Fl \-more\-help 111Pass the extended usage information through a pager. 112.It Fl v Op Brq Ar v|c|n Fl \-version Op Brq Ar v|c|n 113Output version of program and exit.
