   33 .SH DESCRIPTION
   34 \fBntptrace\fP is a perl script that uses the ntpq utility program to follow
   35 the chain of NTP servers from a given host back to the primary time source. For
   36 ntptrace to work properly, each of these servers must implement the NTP Control
   37 and Monitoring Protocol specified in RFC 1305 and enable NTP Mode 6 packets.
   38 .sp
   39 If given no arguments, ntptrace starts with localhost. Here is an example of
   40 the output from ntptrace:
   41 .sp
   42 .br
   43 .in +4
   44 .nf
   45 % ntptrace localhost: stratum 4, offset 0.0019529, synch distance 0.144135
   46 server2ozo.com: stratum 2, offset 0.0124263, synch distance 0.115784 usndh.edu:
   47 stratum 1, offset 0.0019298, synch distance 0.011993, refid 'WWVB'
   48 .in -4
   49 .fi
   50 .sp
   51 On each line, the fields are (left to right): the host name, the host stratum,
   52 the time offset between that host and the local host (as measured by
   53 \fBntptrace\fP; this is why it is not always zero for "localhost"), the host
   54 synchronization distance, and (only for stratum\-1 servers) the reference clock
   55 ID. All times are given in seconds. Note that the stratum is the server hop
   56 count to the primary source, while the synchronization distance is the
   57 estimated error relative to the primary source. These terms are precisely
   58 defined in RFC\-1305.
   59 .SH "OPTIONS"
   60 .TP
   61 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-n\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-numeric\f[]
   62 Print IP addresses instead of hostnames.
   63 .sp
   64 Output hosts as dotted-quad numeric format rather than converting to
   65 the canonical host names.
   66 .TP
   67 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-m\f[] \f\*[I-Font]number\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-max\-hosts\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]number\f[]
   68 Maximum number of peers to trace.
   69 This option takes an integer number as its argument.
   70 The default
   71 \f\*[I-Font]number\f[]
   72 for this option is:
   73 .ti +4
   74  99
   75 .sp
   76 This option has not been fully documented.
   77 .TP
   78 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-r\f[] \f\*[I-Font]string\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-host\f[]=\f\*[I-Font]string\f[]
   79 Single remote host.
   80 The default
   81 \f\*[I-Font]string\f[]
   82 for this option is:
   83 .ti +4
   84  127.0.0.1
   85 .sp
   86 This option has not been fully documented.
   87 .TP
   88 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-\&?\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-help\f[]
   89 Display usage information and exit.
   90 .TP
   91 .NOP \f\*[B-Font]\-\&!\f[], \f\*[B-Font]\-\-more-help\f[]
   92 Pass the extended usage information through a pager.

   95 Output version of program and exit.  The default mode is `v', a simple
   96 version.  The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will
   97 print the full copyright notice.
   98 .PP
   99 .SH "EXIT STATUS"
  100 One of the following exit values will be returned:
  101 .TP
