 By default, ntpdc writes the local data and time (i.e., not UTC) to the
 standard output in the format:
+
+
+1996-10-15 20:17:25.123 (+0800) +4.567 +/- 0.089 secs
+
 
-     1996-10-15 20:17:25.123 (+0800) +4.567 +/- 0.089 secs
-
-  where
+
where
 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.

-Internal Commands
+
+1.3 Internal Commands
 
 Interactive format commands consist of a keyword followed by zero to four arguments.  Only enough characters of the full keyword to uniquely identify the command need be typed.  The output of a command is normally sent to the standard output, but optionally the output of individual commands may be sent to a file by appending a >, followed by a file name, to the command line.  A number of interactive format commands are executed entirely within the ntpq program itself and do not result in NTP mode-6 requests being sent to a server.  These are described following.
-
-     

- ? [command_keyword]
help [command_keyword]
A ? by itself will print a list of all the command keywords known to ntpq.  A ? followed by a command keyword will print function and usage information about the command.
-
-     
 >addvars name [ = value] [...]
rmvars name [...]
clearvars</dt>
The arguments to these commands consist of a list of items of the form
-name = value, where the = value is ignored,
-and can be omitted in read requests.

+The arguments to these commands consist of a list of items of the form

 ntpq maintains an internal list in which data to be included

ntptrace is a perl script that uses the ntpq utility program to follow
 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
 and Monitoring Protocol specified in RFC 1305 and enable NTP Mode 6 packets.

where 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. - -
