Sheldon Hearn 6d8a85eb29 Add selected manual pages transcribed from the HTML documentation.
Those pages which have not been transcribed are referenced as
gracefully as possible.

There is no perfect section for the ntp_* files, which document
configuration options for the NTP suite, so I'm putting them in
the same section as the pages for the utilities themselves.

.Sh NAME
.Nm ntptime
.Nd read kernel time variables
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm ntptime
.Op Fl chr
.Op Fl e Ar est_error
.Op Fl f Ar frequency
.Op Fl m Ar max_error
.Op Fl o Ar offset
.Op Fl s Ar status
.Op Fl t Ar time_constant
.Sh DESCRIPTION
This program is useful only with special kernels
described in the
.Qo
A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping
.Qc
page
(available as part of the HTML documentation
provided in
.Pa /usr/share/doc/ntp ) .
It reads and displays time-related kernel variables
using the
.Xr ntp_gettime 2
and
.Xr ntp_adjtime 2
system calls if available.
A similar display can be obtained using the
.Xr ntpdc 8
program's
.Ic kerninfo
command.
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Fl c
Display the execution time of
.Nm
itself.
.It Fl e Ar est_error
Specify estimated error, in microseconds.
.It Fl f Ar frequency
Specify frequency offset, in parts per million.
.It Fl h
Display times in Unix timeval format.
Default is NTP format.
.It Fl l
Specify the leap bits as a code from 0 to 3.
.It Fl m Ar max_error
Display help information.
.It Fl o Ar offset
Specify clock offset, in microseconds.
.It Fl r
Display Unix and NTP times in raw format.
.It Fl s Ar status
.It Fl t Ar time_constant
Specify time constant, an integer in the range 0-4.
