-g delay, --gap delay
Specify the delay in milliseconds between outgoing queries, defaulting to 50. sntp sends queries to all provided hostnames/addresses in short succession, and by default terminates once the first valid response is received. With multiple time sources provided, all but one will not be used. To limit the number of queries whose responses will not be used, each query is separated from the preceding one by delay milliseconds, to allow time for responses to earlier queries to be received. A larger delay reduces the query load on the time sources, increasing the time to receive a valid response if the first source attempted is slow or unreachable.
-K kodfile, --kod kodfile
-
Specifies the filename kodfile to be used for the persistent history of KoD (Kiss Of Death, or rate-limiting) responses received from servers. The default is /var/db/ntp-kod. Note that the short option is -K, an uppercase letter K.
