<p>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 <code>></code>, followed by a file name, to the command line. A number of interactive format commands are executed entirely within the <code>ntpq</code> program itself and do not result in NTP mode-6 requests being sent to a server.
