.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
This program is useful only with special kernels described in the
|
|
|
|
|
.%T "A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping"
|
|
|
|
|
page in
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa /usr/share/doc/ntp/kern.htm .
|
|
|
|
|
It reads and displays
|
|
|
|
|
time-related kernel variables using the
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa ntp_gettime()
|
|
|
|
|
system call.
|
|
|
