.Dt NTP_ADJTIME 2
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ntp_adjtime
|
|
.Nd NTP daemon application interface
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/timex.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn ntp_adjtime "struct timex *tp"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ntp_adjtime
|
|
system call is used as a kernel interface
|
|
for the Network Time Protocol daemon,
|
|
.Xr ntpd 8 .
|
|
Certain fields of the
|
|
.Vt timex
|
|
structure are interpreted in either
|
|
microseconds or nanoseconds, according to the state of the
|
|
.Dv STA_NANO
|
|
bit in the
|
|
.Va status
|
|
word.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
kernel, the
|
|
.Fn ntp_adjtime
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ntp_gettime 2
|
|
system calls can be used to determine which
|
|
resolution is in use, and to select either one at any time.
|
|
The resolution selected affects the scaling of certain fields in the
|
|
.Fn ntp_gettime
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ntp_adjtime
|
|
system calls.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Take note that this
|
|
.Tn API
|
|
is extremely complex and stateful.
|
|
Users should not attempt modification without first
|
|
reviewing the
|
|
.Xr ntpd 8
|
|
sources in depth.

|
|
Upon successful completion,
|
|
.Fn ntp_adjtime
|
|
will fill the
|
|
.Fa tp
|
|
argument with the current clock state.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion the clock state is returned.
|
|
Otherwise a -1 is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Possible states of the clock are:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -compact -width ".Dv TIME_ERROR"
|
|
.It Dv TIME_OK
|
|
Everything okay, no leap second warning.
|
|
.It Dv TIME_INS
|
|
insert leap second warning.
|
|
.It Dv TIME_DEL
|
|
delete leap second warning.
|
|
.It Dv TIME_OOP
|
|
Leap second in progress.
|
|
.It Dv TIME_WAIT
|
|
Leap second has occurred.
|
|
.It Dv TIME_ERROR
|
|
Clock not synchronized.

.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ntp_gettime
|
|
system call may return
|
|
.Er EPERM
|

if the caller
|
|
does not have sufficient permissions.
