The description on this +page is for the NTPv4 variables. +The program may be run either in interactive mode or controlled using +command line arguments. +Requests to read and write arbitrary +variables can be assembled, with raw and pretty\-printed output +options being available. +The +.Nm +utility can also obtain and print a +list of peers in a common format by sending multiple queries to the +server. +If one or more request options is included on the command line +when +.Nm +is executed, each of the requests will be sent +to the NTP servers running on each of the hosts given as command +line arguments, or on localhost by default. +If no request options +are given, +.Nm +will attempt to read commands from the +standard input and execute these on the NTP server running on the +first host given on the command line, again defaulting to localhost +when no other host is specified. +The +.Nm +utility will prompt for +commands if the standard input is a terminal device. +.Nm +uses NTP mode 6 packets to communicate with the +NTP server, and hence can be used to query any compatible server on +the network which permits it. +Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol +this communication will be somewhat unreliable, especially over +large distances in terms of network topology. +The +.Nm +utility makes +one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if +the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout +time. +Specifying a +command line option other than +.Fl i +or +.Fl n +will +cause the specified query (queries) to be sent to the indicated +host(s) immediately. +Otherwise, +.Nm +will attempt to read +interactive format commands from the standard input. +.Ss "Internal Commands" +Interactive format commands consist of a keyword followed by zero +to four arguments. +Only enough characters of the full keyword to +uniquely identify the command need be typed. +A +number of interactive format commands are executed entirely within +the +.Nm +utility itself and do not result in NTP mode 6 +requests being sent to a server. +These are described following. +.Bl -tag -width "?
