The options are as follows:
-s all | peers | Sensors | status
Used to display information about the running daemon.
Keywords may be abbreviated.
all shows all data available.
peers shows the following information about each peer:
weight, trustlevel, stratum, number of seconds until the
next poll, polling interval in seconds, and offset, network
delay and network jitter in milliseconds. When the system
clock is synced to a peer, an asterisk is displayed to the
left of the weight column for that peer.
Sensors shows the following information about each sensor:
weight, sensor "good" status, stratum, and offset and the
configured correction in milliseconds. When the system
clock is synced to a sensor, an asterisk is displayed to
the left of the weight column for that sensor.
status shows the status of peers and sensors, and whether
the system clock is synced. When the system clock is
synced, the stratum is displayed. When the system clock is
not synced, the offset of the system clock, as reported by
the adjtime(2) system call, is displayed. When the median
constraint is set, the offset to the local time is
displayed.
