The program may be run either in interactive mode or controlled using command line arguments. Requests to read and write arbitrary variables can be assembled, with raw and pretty-printed output options being available. The **ntpq** utility can also obtain and print a list of peers in a common format by sending multiple queries to the server. If one or more request options is included on the command line when **ntpq** is executed, each of the requests will be sent to the NTP servers running on each of the hosts given as command line arguments, or on localhost by default. If no request options are given, **ntpq** will attempt to read commands from the standard input and execute these on the NTP server running on the first host given on the command line, again defaulting to localhost when no other host is specified. The **ntpq** utility will prompt for commands if the standard input is a terminal device. **ntpq** uses NTP mode 6 packets to communicate with the NTP server, and hence can be used to query any compatible server on the network which permits it. Note that since NTP is a UDP protocol this communication will be somewhat unreliable, especially over large distances in terms of network topology. The **ntpq** utility makes one attempt to retransmit requests, and will time re‐ quests out if the remote host is not heard from within a suitable timeout time. Note that in contexts where a host name is expected, a **-4** qualifier preceding the host name forces resolution to the IPv4 namespace, while a **-6** qualifier forces resolution to the IPv6 namespace. For examples and usage, see the “NTP Debugging Techniques” page. Specifying a command line option other than **-i** or **-n** will cause the specified query (queries) to be sent to the indicated host(s) immediately. Otherwise, **ntpq** will attempt to read interac‐ tive format commands from the standard input. ### 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. A number of interactive format commands are executed entirely within the **ntpq** utility itself and do not result in NTP requests being sent to a server. These are described following. ? [_command_] **help** [_command_] A ‘?’ by itself will print a list of all the commands known to **ntpq**. A ‘?’ followed by a command name will print function and usage information about the command. **addvars** _name_[=_value_][,...] **rmvars** _name_[,...] **clearvars** **showvars** The arguments to this command consist of a list of items of the form _name_[=_value_], where the =_value_ is ignored, and can be omitted, in re‐ quests to the server to read variables. The **ntpq** utility maintains an internal list in which data to be included in messages can be assembled, and displayed or set using the **readlist** and **writelist** commands described below. The **addvars** command allows variables and their optional values to be added to the list. If more than one variable is to be added, the list should be comma-separated and not contain white space. The **rmvars** com‐ mand can be used to remove individual variables from the list, while the **clearvars** command removes all variables from the list. The **showvars** com‐ mand displays the current list of optional variables. **authenticate** [**yes**|**no**] Normally **ntpq** does not authenticate requests unless they are write re‐ quests. The command **authenticate** **yes** causes **ntpq** to send authentication with all requests it makes. Authenticated requests causes some servers to handle requests slightly differently. The command **authenticate** causes **ntpq** to display whether or not it is currently authenticating requests. **cooked** Causes output from query commands to be "cooked", so that variables which are recognized by **ntpq** will have their values reformatted for human con‐ sumption. Variables which **ntpq** could not decode completely are marked with a trailing ‘?’. **debug** [**more**|**less**|**off**] With no argument, displays the current debug level. Otherwise, the de‐ bugging level is changed as indicated. **delay** [_milliseconds_] Specify a time interval to be added to timestamps included in requests which require authentication. This is used to enable (unreliable) server reconfiguration over long delay network paths or between machines whose clocks are unsynchronized. Actually the server does not now require timestamps in authenticated requests, so this command may be obsolete. Without any arguments, displays the current delay. **drefid** [**hash**|**ipv4**] Display refids as IPv4 or hash. Without any arguments, displays whether refids are shown as IPv4 addresses or hashes. **exit** Exit **ntpq**. **host** [_name_] Set the host to which future queries will be sent. The _name_ may be ei‐ ther a host name or a numeric address. Without any arguments, displays the current host. **hostnames** [**yes**|**no**] If **yes** is specified, host names are printed in information displays. If **no** is specified, numeric addresses are printed instead. The default is **yes**, unless modified using the command line **-n** switch. Without any argu‐ ments, displays whether host names or numeric addresses are shown. **keyid** [_keyid_] This command allows the specification of a key number to be used to au‐ thenticate configuration requests. This must correspond to the **controlkey** key number the server has been configured to use for this pur‐ pose. Without any arguments, displays the current _keyid_. **keytype** [_digest_] Specify the digest algorithm to use for authenticating requests, with de‐ fault **MD5**. If **ntpq** was built with OpenSSL support, and OpenSSL is in‐ stalled, _digest_ can be any message digest algorithm supported by OpenSSL. If no argument is given, the current **keytype** _digest_ algorithm used is displayed. **ntpversion** [**1**|**2**|**3**|**4**] Sets the NTP version number which **ntpq** claims in packets. Defaults to 3, and note that mode 6 control messages (and modes, for that matter) didn't exist in NTP version 1. There appear to be no servers left which demand version 1. With no argument, displays the current NTP version that will be used when communicating with servers. **passwd** This command prompts you to type in a password (which will not be echoed) which will be used to authenticate configuration requests. The password must correspond to the key configured for use by the NTP server for this purpose if such requests are to be successful. **poll** [_n_] [**verbose**] Poll an NTP server in client mode _n_ times. Poll not implemented yet. **quit** Exit **ntpq**. **raw** Causes all output from query commands is printed as received from the re‐ mote server. The only formating/interpretation done on the data is to transform nonascii data into a printable (but barely understandable) form. **timeout** [_milliseconds_] Specify a timeout period for responses to server queries. The default is about 5000 milliseconds. Without any arguments, displays the current timeout period. Note that since **ntpq** retries each query once after a timeout, the total waiting time for a timeout will be twice the timeout value set. **version** Display the version of the **ntpq** program. ### Control Message Commands Association ids are used to identify system, peer and clock variables. System variables are assigned an association id of zero and system name space, while each association is assigned a nonzero association id and peer namespace. Most control commands send a single message to the server and expect a single response message. The exceptions are the **peers** command, which sends a series of messages, and the **mreadlist** and **mreadvar** commands, which iterate over a range of associations. **apeers** Display a list of peers in the form: [tally]remote refid assid st t when pool reach delay offset jitter where the output is just like the **peers** command except that the **refid** is dis‐ played in hex format and the association number is also displayed. **associations** Display a list of mobilized associations in the form: ind assid status conf reach auth condition last_event cnt **Variable** **Description** **ind** index on this list **assid** association id **status** peer status word **conf** **yes**: persistent, **no**: ephemeral **reach** **yes**: reachable, **no**: unreachable **auth** **ok**, **yes**, **bad** and **none** **condition** selection status (see the **select** field of the peer status word) **last**___**event** event report (see the **event** field of the peer status word) **cnt** event count (see the **count** field of the peer status word) **authinfo** Display the authentication statistics counters: time since reset, stored keys, free keys, key lookups, keys not found, uncached keys, expired keys, encryp‐ tions, decryptions. **clocklist** [_associd_] **cl** [_associd_] Display all clock variables in the variable list for those associations sup‐ porting a reference clock. **clockvar** [_associd_] [_name_[=_value_]][,...] **cv** [_associd_] [_name_[=_value_]][,...] Display a list of clock variables for those associations supporting a refer‐ ence clock. **:config** _configuration_ _command_ _line_ Send the remainder of the command line, including whitespace, to the server as a run-time configuration command in the same format as a line in the configu‐ ration file. This command is experimental until further notice and clarifica‐ tion. Authentication is of course required. **config-from-file** _filename_ Send each line of _filename_ to the server as run-time configuration commands in the same format as lines in the configuration file. This command is experi‐ mental until further notice and clarification. Authentication is required. **ifstats** Display status and statistics counters for each local network interface ad‐ dress: interface number, interface name and address or broadcast, drop, flag, ttl, mc, received, sent, send failed, peers, uptime. Authentication is re‐ quired. **iostats** Display network and reference clock I/O statistics: time since reset, receive buffers, free receive buffers, used receive buffers, low water refills, dropped packets, ignored packets, received packets, packets sent, packet send failures, input wakeups, useful input wakeups. **kerninfo** Display kernel loop and PPS statistics: associd, status, pll offset, pll fre‐ quency, maximum error, estimated error, kernel status, pll time constant, pre‐ cision, frequency tolerance, pps frequency, pps stability, pps jitter, cali‐ bration interval, calibration cycles, jitter exceeded, stability exceeded, calibration errors. As with other ntpq output, times are in milliseconds; very small values may be shown as exponentials. The precision value displayed is in milliseconds as well, unlike the precision system variable. **lassociations** Perform the same function as the associations command, except display mobi‐ lized and unmobilized associations, including all clients. **lopeers** [**-4**|**-6**] Display a list of all peers and clients showing **dstadr** (associated with the given IP version). **lpassociations** Display the last obtained list of associations, including all clients. **lpeers** [**-4**|**-6**] Display a list of all peers and clients (associated with the given IP ver‐ sion). **monstats** Display monitor facility status, statistics, and limits: enabled, addresses, peak addresses, maximum addresses, reclaim above count, reclaim older than, kilobytes, maximum kilobytes. **mreadlist** _associdlo_ _associdhi_ **mrl** _associdlo_ _associdhi_ Perform the same function as the **readlist** command for a range of association ids. **mreadvar** _associdlo_ _associdhi_ [_name_][,...] This range may be determined from the list displayed by any command showing associations. **mrv** _associdlo_ _associdhi_ [_name_][,...] Perform the same function as the **readvar** command for a range of association ids. This range may be determined from the list displayed by any command showing associations. **mrulist** [**limited** | **kod** | **mincount**=_count_ | **laddr**=_localaddr_ | **sort**=[-]_sortorder_ | **resany**=_hexmask_ | **resall**=_hexmask_] Display traffic counts of the most recently seen source addresses collected and maintained by the monitor facility. With the exception of **sort**=[-]_sortorder_, the options filter the list returned by [ntpd(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ntpd/8/markdown). The **limited** and **kod** options return only entries representing client addresses from which the last packet received triggered either discarding or a KoD response. The **mincount**=_count_ option filters entries representing less than _count_ pack‐ ets. The **laddr**=_localaddr_ option filters entries for packets received on any local address other than _localaddr_. **resany**=_hexmask_ and **resall**=_hexmask_ filter entries containing none or less than all, respectively, of the bits in _hexmask_, which must begin with **0x**. The _sortorder_ defaults to **lstint** and may be **addr**, **avgint**, **count**, **lstint**, or any of those preceded by ‘-’ to reverse the sort order. The output columns are: Column Description **lstint** Interval in seconds between the receipt of the most recent packet from this address and the completion of the retrieval of the MRU list by **ntpq**. **avgint** Average interval in s between packets from this address. **rstr** Restriction flags associated with this address. Most are copied unchanged from the matching **restrict** command, however 0x400 (kod) and 0x20 (limited) flags are cleared unless the last packet from this address triggered a rate control re‐ sponse. **r** Rate control indicator, either a period, **L** or **K** for no rate control response, rate limiting by discarding, or rate limit‐ ing with a KoD response, respectively. **m** Packet mode. **v** Packet version number. **count** Packets received from this address. **rport** Source port of last packet from this address. **remote** **address** host or DNS name, numeric address, or address followed by claimed DNS name which could not be verified in parentheses. **opeers** [**-4** | **-6**] Obtain and print the old-style list of all peers and clients showing **dstadr** (associated with the given IP version), rather than the **refid**. **passociations** Perform the same function as the **associations** command, except that it uses previously stored data rather than making a new query. **peers** Display a list of peers in the form: [tally]remote refid st t when pool reach delay offset jitter Variable Description **[tally]** single-character code indicating current value of the **select** field of the _peer_ _status_ _word_: **decode.html#peer** **remote** host name (or IP number) of peer. The value displayed will be truncated to 15 characters unless the **ntpq** **-w** option is given, in which case the full value will be displayed on the first line, and if too long, the remaining data will be dis‐ played on the next line. **refid** source IP address or _'kiss_ _code_: **decode.html#kiss** **st** stratum: 0 for local reference clocks, 1 for servers with lo‐ cal reference clocks, ..., 16 for unsynchronized server clocks **t** **u**: unicast or manycast client, **b**: broadcast or multicast client, **p**: pool source, **l**: local (reference clock), **s**: sym‐ metric (peer), **A**: manycast server, **B**: broadcast server, **M**: multicast server **when** time in seconds, minutes, hours, or days since the last packet was received, or ‘-’ if a packet has never been re‐ ceived **poll** poll interval (s) **reach** reach shift register (octal) **delay** roundtrip delay **offset** offset of server relative to this host **jitter** offset RMS error estimate. **pstats** _associd_ Display the statistics for the peer with the given _associd_: associd, status, remote host, local address, time last received, time until next send, reacha‐ bility change, packets sent, packets received, bad authentication, bogus ori‐ gin, duplicate, bad dispersion, bad reference time, candidate order. **readlist** [_associd_] **rl** [_associd_] Display all system or peer variables. If the _associd_ is omitted, it is as‐ sumed to be zero. **readvar** [_associd_ _name_[=_value_] [, ...]] **rv** [_associd_ _name_[=_value_] [, ...]] Display the specified system or peer variables. If _associd_ is zero, the vari‐ ables are from the _System_ _Variables_ name space, otherwise they are from the _Peer_ _Variables_ name space. The _associd_ is required, as the same name can oc‐ cur in both spaces. If no _name_ is included, all operative variables in the name space are displayed. In this case only, if the _associd_ is omitted, it is assumed to be zero. Multiple names are specified with comma separators and without whitespace. Note that time values are represented in milliseconds and frequency values in parts-per-million (PPM). Some NTP timestamps are repre‐ sented in the format _YYYYMM_ _DD_ _TTTT_, where _YYYY_ is the year, _MM_ the month of year, _DD_ the day of month and _TTTT_ the time of day. **reslist** Display the access control (restrict) list for **ntpq**. Authentication is re‐ quired. **saveconfig** _filename_ Save the current configuration, including any runtime modifications made by **:config** or **config-from-file**, to the NTP server host file _filename_. This com‐ mand will be rejected by the server unless _saveconfigdir_: **miscopt.html#saveconfigdir** appears in the [ntpd(8)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ntpd/8/markdown) configuration file. _filename_ can use [date(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/date/1/markdown) format specifiers to substitute the current date and time, for example, **saveconfig** _ntp-%Y%m%d-%H%M%S.conf_. The filename used is stored in system variable **savedconfig**. Authentication is required. **sysinfo** Display system operational summary: associd, status, system peer, system peer mode, leap indicator, stratum, log2 precision, root delay, root dispersion, reference id, reference time, system jitter, clock jitter, clock wander, broadcast delay, symm. auth. delay. **sysstats** Display system uptime and packet counts maintained in the protocol module: up‐ time, sysstats reset, packets received, current version, older version, bad length or format, authentication failed, declined, restricted, rate limited, KoD responses, processed for time. **timerstats** Display interval timer counters: time since reset, timer overruns, calls to transmit. **writelist** _associd_ Set all system or peer variables included in the variable list. **writevar** _associd_ _name_=_value_ [, ...] Set the specified variables in the variable list. If the _associd_ is zero, the variables are from the _System_ _Variables_ name space, otherwise they are from the _Peer_ _Variables_ name space. The _associd_ is required, as the same name can occur in both spaces. Authentication is required. ### Status Words and Kiss Codes The current state of the operating program is shown in a set of status words maintained by the system. Status information is also available on a per-association basis. These words are dis‐ played by the **readlist** and **associations** commands both in hexadecimal and in decoded short tip strings. The codes, tips and short explanations are documented on the _Event_ _Messages_ _and_ _Status_ _Words_: **decode.html** page. The page also includes a list of system and peer messages, the code for the latest of which is included in the status word. Information resulting from protocol machine state transitions is displayed using an informal set of ASCII strings called _kiss_ _codes_: **decode.html#kiss**. The original purpose was for kiss-o'-death (KoD) packets sent by the server to advise the client of an unusual condition. They are now displayed, when appropriate, in the reference identifier field in various bill‐ boards. ### System Variables The following system variables appear in the **readlist** billboard. Not all variables are dis‐ played in some configurations. Variable Description **status** _system_ _status_ _word_: **decode.html#sys** **version** NTP software version and build time **processor** hardware platform and version **system** operating system and version **leap** leap warning indicator (0-3) **stratum** stratum (1-15) **precision** precision (log2 s) **rootdelay** total roundtrip delay to the primary reference clock **rootdisp** total dispersion to the primary reference clock **refid** reference id or _kiss_ _code_: **decode.html#kiss** **reftime** reference time **clock** date and time of day **peer** system peer association id **tc** time constant and poll exponent (log2 s) (3-17) **mintc** minimum time constant (log2 s) (3-10) **offset** combined offset of server relative to this host **frequency** frequency drift (PPM) relative to hardware clock **sys**___**jitter** combined system jitter **clk**___**wander** clock frequency wander (PPM) **clk**___**jitter** clock jitter **tai** TAI-UTC offset (s) **leapsec** NTP seconds when the next leap second is/was inserted **expire** NTP seconds when the NIST leapseconds file expires The jitter and wander statistics are exponentially-weighted RMS averages. The system jitter is defined in the NTPv4 specification; the clock jitter statistic is computed by the clock disci‐ pline module. When the NTPv4 daemon is compiled with the OpenSSL software library, additional system vari‐ ables are displayed, including some or all of the following, depending on the particular Au‐ tokey dance: Variable Description **host** Autokey host name for this host **ident** Autokey group name for this host **flags** host flags (see Autokey specification) **digest** OpenSSL message digest algorithm **signature** OpenSSL digest/signature scheme **update** NTP seconds at last signature update **cert** certificate subject, issuer and certificate flags **until** NTP seconds when the certificate expires ### Peer Variables The following peer variables appear in the **readlist** billboard for each association. Not all variables are displayed in some configurations. Variable Description **associd** association id **status** _peer_ _status_ _word_: **decode.html#peer** **srcadr** source (remote) IP address **srcport** source (remote) port **dstadr** destination (local) IP address **dstport** destination (local) port **leap** leap indicator (0-3) **stratum** stratum (0-15) **precision** precision (log2 s) **rootdelay** total roundtrip delay to the primary reference clock **rootdisp** total root dispersion to the primary reference clock **refid** reference id or _kiss_ _code_: **decode.html#kiss** **reftime** reference time **rec** last packet received time **reach** reach register (octal) **unreach** unreach counter **hmode** host mode (1-6) **pmode** peer mode (1-5) **hpoll** host poll exponent (log2 s) (3-17) **ppoll** peer poll exponent (log2 s) (3-17) **headway** headway (see _Rate_ _Management_ _and_ _the_ _Kiss-o'-Death_ _Packet_: **rate.html**) **flash** _flash_ _status_ _word_: **decode.html#flash** **keyid** symmetric key id **offset** filter offset **delay** filter delay **dispersion** filter dispersion **jitter** filter jitter **bias** unicast/broadcast bias **xleave** interleave delay (see _NTP_ _Interleaved_ _Modes_: **xleave.html**) The **bias** variable is calculated when the first broadcast packet is received after the calibra‐ tion volley. It represents the offset of the broadcast subgraph relative to the unicast sub‐ graph. The **xleave** variable appears only for the interleaved symmetric and interleaved modes. It represents the internal queuing, buffering and transmission delays for the preceding packet. When the NTPv4 daemon is compiled with the OpenSSL software library, additional peer variables are displayed, including the following: Variable Description **flags** peer flags (see Autokey specification) **host** Autokey server name **flags** peer flags (see Autokey specification) **signature** OpenSSL digest/signature scheme **initsequence** initial key id **initkey** initial key index **timestamp** Autokey signature timestamp **ident** Autokey group name for this association ### Clock Variables The following clock variables appear in the **clocklist** billboard for each association with a reference clock. Not all variables are displayed in some configurations. Variable Description **associd** association id **status** _clock_ _status_ _word_: **decode.html#clock** **device** device description **timecode** ASCII time code string (specific to device) **poll** poll messages sent **noreply** no reply **badformat** bad format **baddata** bad date or time **fudgetime1** fudge time 1 **fudgetime2** fudge time 2 **stratum** driver stratum **refid** driver reference id **flags** driver flags ## OPTIONS ### -4 --ipv4 Force IPv4 name resolution. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: ipv6. Force resolution of following host names on the command line to the IPv4 namespace. ### -6 --ipv6 Force IPv6 name resolution. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: ipv4. Force resolution of following host names on the command line to the IPv6 namespace. ### -c --command run a command and exit. This option may appear an unlimited number of times. The following argument is interpreted as an interactive format command and is added to the list of commands to be executed on the specified host(s). ### -d --debug-level Increase debug verbosity level. This option may appear an unlimited number of times. ### -D --set-debug-level Set the debug verbosity level. This option may appear an unlimited number of times. This option takes an integer number as its argument. ### -i --interactive Force ntpq to operate in interactive mode. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: command, peers. Force **ntpq** to operate in interactive mode. Prompts will be written to the standard output and commands read from the standard input. ### -n --numeric numeric host addresses. Output all host addresses in dotted-quad numeric format rather than converting to the canonical host names. ### --old-rv Always output status line with readvar. By default, **ntpq** now suppresses the **associd=...** line that precedes the output of **read**‐‐ **var** (alias **rv**) when a single variable is requested, such as **ntpq** **-c** **"rv** **0** **offset"**. This option causes **ntpq** to include both lines of output for a single-variable **readvar**. Using an environment variable to preset this option in a script will enable both older and newer **ntpq** to behave identically in this regard. ### -p --peers Print a list of the peers. This option must not appear in combination with any of the following options: interactive. Print a list of the peers known to the server as well as a summary of their state. This is equivalent to the 'peers' interactive command. ### -r --refid Set default display type for S2+ refids. This option takes a keyword as its argument. The argument sets an enumeration value that can be tested by comparing them against the option value macro. The available keywords are: hash ipv4 or their numeric equivalent. The default _keyword_ for this option is: ipv4 Set the default display format for S2+ refids. ### -w --wide Display the full 'remote' value. Display the full value of the 'remote' value. If this requires more than 15 charac‐ ters, display the full value, emit a newline, and continue the data display properly indented on the next line. **-?**, **--help** Display usage information and exit. **-!**, **--more-help** Pass the extended usage information through a pager. **->** [_cfgfile_], **--save-opts** [=_cfgfile_] Save the option state to _cfgfile_. The default is the _last_ configuration file listed in the **OPTION** **PRESETS** section, below. The command will exit after updating the config file. **-<** _cfgfile_, **--load-opts**=_cfgfile_, **--no-load-opts** Load options from _cfgfile_. The _no-load-opts_ form will disable the loading of earlier config/rc/ini files. _--no-load-opts_ is handled early, out of order. **--version** [{_v|c|n_}] Output version of program and exit. The default mode is `v', a simple version. The `c' mode will print copyright information and `n' will print the full copyright notice. ## OPTION PRESETS Any option that is not marked as _not_ _presettable_ may be preset by loading values from configu‐ ration ("RC" or ".INI") file(s) and values from environment variables named: **NTPQ**___**** or **NTPQ** The environmental presets take precedence (are processed later than) the configuration files. The _homerc_ files are "_$HOME_", and "_._". If any of these are directories, then the file _.ntprc_ is searched for within those directories. ## ENVIRONMENT See **OPTION** **PRESETS** for configuration environment variables. ## FILES See **OPTION** **PRESETS** for configuration files. ## EXIT STATUS One of the following exit values will be returned: 0 (EXIT_SUCCESS) Successful program execution. 1 (EXIT_FAILURE) The operation failed or the command syntax was not valid. 66 (EX_NOINPUT) A specified configuration file could not be loaded. 70 (EX_SOFTWARE) libopts had an internal operational error.
