15: The
16: [= prog-name =]
17: utility program is used to query an NTP daemon about its
18: current state and to request changes in that state.
19: It uses NTP mode 7 control message formats described in the source code.
20: The program may
21: be run either in interactive mode or controlled using command line
22: arguments.
23: Extensive state and statistics information is available
24: through the
25: [= prog-name =]
26: interface.
27: In addition, nearly all the
28: configuration options which can be specified at startup using
29: ntpd's configuration file may also be specified at run time using
30: [= prog-name =] .
