YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SUBSEC is the local date and time,
(+0800) is the local timezone adjustment (so we would add 8 hours and 0 minutes to convert the reported local time to UTC),
and
the +4.567 +/- 0.089 secs indicates the time offset and
error bound of the system clock relative to the server clock.

+
+<p>The <code>ntpq</code> utility program is used to monitor NTP daemon <code>ntpd</code> operations and determine performance.
It uses the standard NTP mode 6 control message formats defined in
-Appendix B of the NTPv3 specification RFC1305.
-The same formats are used in NTPv4, although some of the variable names have changed and new ones added.
+Appendix B of the NTPv3 specification RFC1305.
+The same formats are used in NTPv4, although some of the variable names have changed and new ones added.
The description on this page is for the NTPv4 variables.
-</p>
-<p>The program can 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 <code>ntpq</code> can also obtain and print a list of peers in a common format by sending multiple queries to the server.
-</p>
-<p>If one or more request options is included on the command line when <code>ntpq</code> 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, <code>ntpq</code> 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. <code>ntpq</code> will prompt for commands if the standard input is a terminal device.
-</p>
-<p><code>ntpq</code> 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. <code>ntpq</code> makes one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time requests out if the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout time.
-</p>
-<p>Note that in contexts where a host name is expected, a <code>-4</code> qualifier preceding the host name forces DNS resolution to the IPv4 namespace, while a <code>-6</code> qualifier forces DNS resolution to the IPv6 namespace.

the chain of NTP servers from a given host back to the primary time source. For
ntptrace to work properly, each of these servers must implement the NTP Control
