+@top ntpd: Network Time Protocol (NTP) Daemon User Manual
+
+The @code{ntpd} program is an operating system daemon that synchronizes the
+system clock to remote NTP time servers or local reference clocks.
+It is a complete implementation of NTP version 4 defined by RFC-5905, but
+also retains compatible with version 3 defined by RFC-1305 and versions
+1 and 2, defined by RFC-1059 and RFC-1119, respectively.
+The program can operate in any of several modes, including client/server,
+symmetric and broadcast modes, and with both symmetric-key and public-key
+cryptography.
+
+This document applies to version @value{VERSION} of @code{ntpd}.

+@section Description
+
+The @code{ntpd} program ordinarily requires
+a configuration file described at @ref{ntp.conf}.
+This configuration file contains configuration commands described on
+the pages listed above.
+However a client can discover remote servers and configure them
+automatically.
+This makes it possible to deploy a fleet of workstations without
+specifying configuration details specific to the local environment.
+
+The @code{ntpd} program normally operates continuously while adjusting the
+system time and frequency, but in some cases this might not be
+practical.
+With the @code{-q} option @code{ntpd} operates as in continuous mode, but
+exits just after setting the clock for the first time.
+Most applications will probably want to specify the @code{iburst}
+option with the @code{server} command.
+With this option an initial volley of messages is exchanged to
+groom the data and set the clock in about ten seconds' time.
+If nothing is heard after a few minutes' time,
+the daemon times out and exits without setting the clock.
