Description

By default, sntp writes the local data and time (i.e., not UTC) to the standard output in the format:

     1996 Oct 15 20:17:25.123 + 4.567 +/- 0.089 secs
-

- +

where the + 4.567 +/- 0.089 secs indicates the time offset and error bound of the system clock relative to the server clock. +
