+Statistics file formats (README.stats)
+
+The xntp3 daemon can produce a variety of statistics files which are
+useful for maintenance, evaluation and retrospective calibration
+purposes. See the xntpd.8 man page for instructions on how to configure
+this feature. Since these files can become rather large and cumbersome,
+they are ordinarily reduced to summary form by running the summary.sh
+shell script once per day, week or month, as appropriate. There are
+three file collections presently defined: peerstats, loopstats and
+clockstats, each of which is described in this note.
+
+peerstats
+
+The following data are collected in the peerstats files. The files are
+reduced to summary data using the peer.sh shell script. See the peer.awk
+script for further information. A line in the file is produced upon
+reception of each valid update from a configured peer.
+
+ 49236 30.756 140.173.96.1 9474 0.000603 0.37532
+
+ 49236 modified Julian day number
+ 30.756 time of day (s) past midnight UTC
+ 140.173.96.1 peer identifier (IP address or receiver identifier)
+ 9474 peer status word (hex) (see NTP specification)
+ 0.000603 offset (s)
+ 0.08929 delay (s)
+ 0.37532 dispersion (s)
+
+loopstats
+
+The following data are collected in the loopstats files. The files are
+reduced to summary data using the loop.sh shell script. See the loop.awk
+script for further information. A line in the file is produced at each
+valid update of the local clock.
+
+ 49236 11.897 -0.000004 -35.9384 0
+
+ 49236 modified Julian day number
+ 11.897 time of day (s) past midnight UTC
+ -0.000004 time offset (s)
+ -35.9384 frequency offset (ppm)
+ 0 phase-lock loop time constant
+
+clockstats
+
+The following data are collected in the clockstats files. The files are
+reduced to summary data using the clock.sh shell script, which also
+updates the ensemble, etf, itf and tdata data files as well. See the
+clock.awk, ensemble.awk, etf.awk, itf.awk and tdta.awk scripts for
+further information. A line in the file is produced at each valid update
+received from a configured radio clock. Data are at present recorded for
+several radios. The first part of each data line is similar for all
+radios, e.g.:
+
+ 49234 60517.826 127.127.4.1 93 247 16:48:21.814
+
+ 49234 modified Julian day number
+ 60517.826 time of day (s) past midnight UTC
+ 127.127.4.1 receiver identifier (Spectracom 8170/Netclock-2)
+ 93 247 16:48:21.814 timecode (format varies)
+
+In the case of the Austron GPS receiver, a good deal of additional
+information is extracted from the radio, as described below. The formats
+shown consist of one line with all the fields shown in order. The
+timecode formats specific to each radio follow. See the file
+README.timecodes for detailed information on the timecode formats used
+by these radios.

+ 49234 60517.826 127.127.4.1 ?A93 247 16:48:21.814
+
+ The '?' and 'A' characters are present only when the receiver is
+ unsynchronized; otherwise, they are replaced by space ' ' characters.
+
+IRIG audio decoder
+
+ 49234 60517.826 127.127.6.0 247 16:48:21?

+Austron 2200A/2201A GPS receiver
+
+ 49234 60580.843 127.127.10.1 93:247:16:49:24.814?
+
+ The '?' character is present only when the receiver is unsynchronized.
+
+Depending on the installed options, the Austron 2200A/2201A recognizes a
+number of special commands that report various data items. See the
+refclock_as2201.c source module for a list of the commands used. These
+data are collected only if the following line is included in the
+configuration file ntp.conf:
+
+ fudge 127.127.10.1 flag4 1 # enable extended statistics collection
+
+The format of each data line returned is summarized in the following
+list.
