sntpclock(1) General Commands Manual sntpclock(1) NAME sntpclock - check a system's clock through NTP SYNOPSIS sntpclock host DESCRIPTION sntpclock connects to an NTP server on host. host must be a dotted-decimal IP address. sntpclock prints a 16-byte TAI64NA adjustment that, when added to the local UNIX clock, will produce the TAI clock on host. sntpclock limits the ad- justment to 2 days. sntpclock does not bind to port 123; this means that it does not need to run as root. Note that some firewalls will not permit sntpclock requests. NOTES An NTP timestamp is a count of non-leap seconds. sntpclock uses a local leap-second table to convert the NTP timestamp to TAI with an epoch of 1970-01-01 00:00:10 TAI. For a discussion of the difference between UTC and TAI see http://pobox.com/~djb/proto/utctai.html. The current NTP time scale will break down in 2036.
