.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
This manual page documents, briefly, the \fBntpdc\fP command.
|
|
The
|
|
[= prog-name =]
|
|
utility program is used to query an NTP daemon about its
|
|
current state and to request changes in that state.
|
|
It uses NTP mode 7 control message formats described in the source code.
|
|
The program may
|
|
be run either in interactive mode or controlled using command line
|
|
arguments.
|
|
Extensive state and statistics information is available
|
|
through the
|
|
[= prog-name =]
|
|
interface.
|
|
In addition, nearly all the
|
|
configuration options which can be specified at startup using
|
|
ntpd's configuration file may also be specified at run time using
|
|
[= prog-name =] .
|
|

environment variables named:
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fBNTPDC_<option-name>\fP or \fBNTPDC\fP
|
|
.fi
|
|
.aj
|
|
The environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than)
|
|
the configuration files.
|
|
The \fIhomerc\fP files are "\fI$HOME\fP", and "\fI.\fP".
|
|
If any of these are directories, then the file \fI.ntprc\fP
|
|
is searched for within those directories.
