address. This could be useful in scripts to avoid having to run the
sources command with and without -N.

+[[sourcename]]*sourcename* _address_::
+The *sourcename* command prints the original hostname or address that was
+specified for an NTP source in the configuration file, or the *add* command.
+This command is an alternative to the *-N* option, which can be useful in
+scripts.
++
+Note that different NTP sources can share the same name, e.g. servers from a
+pool.
