18         <h4>Synopsis</h4>
19         <tt>ntptime [ -chr ] [ -e <i>est_error</i> ] [ -f <i>frequency</i> ] [ -m <i>max_error</i> ] [ -o <i>offset</i> ] [ -s <i>status</i> ] [ -t <i>time_constant</i>]</tt>
20         <h4>Description</h4>
21         <p>This program is useful only with special kernels described in the <a href="kern.html">A Kernel Model for Precision Timekeeping</a> page. It reads and displays time-related kernel variables using the <tt>ntp_gettime()</tt> system call. A similar display can be obtained using the <tt>ntpdc</tt> program and <tt>kerninfo</tt> command.</p>
