11.Nm
12.Op Fl chr
13.Op Fl e Ar est_error

19.Sh DESCRIPTION
20This program is useful only with special kernels
21described in the
22.Qo
23A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping
24.Qc
25page
26(available as part of the HTML documentation
27provided in
28.Pa /usr/share/doc/ntp ) .
29It reads and displays time-related kernel variables
30using the
31.Fn gettime
32and
33.Xr adjtime 2
34system calls if available.
35A similar display can be obtained using the
36.Xr ntpdc 8
37program's
38.Ic kerninfo
39command.
40.Pp
41The following options are available:
42.Bl -tag -width indent
43.It Fl c
44Display the execution time of
45.Nm
46itself.
47.It Fl e Ar est_error
48Specify estimated error, in microseconds.
49.It Fl f Ar frequency
50Specify frequency offset, in parts per million.
51.It Fl h
52Display help information.
53.It Fl l
54Specify the leap bits as a code from 0 to 3.
55.It Fl m Ar max_error
56Specify max possible errors, in microseconds.
57.It Fl o Ar offset
58Specify clock offset, in microseconds.
59.It Fl r
60Display Unix and NTP times in raw format.
61.It Fl s Ar status
62.It Fl t Ar time_constant
63Specify time constant, an integer in the range 0-4.
