Most commands currently implemented send

series of messages to obtain the data it needs, and the mreadlist
and mreadvar commands, which will iterate over a range of

There is no perfect section for the ntp_* files, which document configuration options for the NTP suite, so I'm putting them in the same section as the pages for the utilities themselves.

command is non-atomic and may occasionally result in
spurious error messages about invalid associations occurring and
