51 * This header file defines the Network Time Protocol (NTP) interfaces
52 * for user and daemon application programs. These are implemented using
53 * defined syscalls and data structures and require specific kernel
56 * The original precision time kernels developed from 1993 have an
57 * ultimate resolution of one microsecond; however, the most recent
58 * kernels have an ultimate resolution of one nanosecond. In these
59 * kernels, a ntp_adjtime() syscalls can be used to determine which
60 * resolution is in use and to select either one at any time. The
61 * resolution selected affects the scaling of certain fields in the
62 * ntp_gettime() and ntp_adjtime() syscalls, as described below.
65 * ntp_gettime - NTP user application interface
68 * #include <sys/timex.h>
70 * int ntp_gettime(struct ntptimeval *ntv);
73 * The time returned by ntp_gettime() is in a timespec structure,
74 * but may be in either microsecond (seconds and microseconds) or
75 * nanosecond (seconds and nanoseconds) format. The particular
76 * format in use is determined by the STA_NANO bit of the status
77 * word returned by the ntp_adjtime() syscall.
80 * ntp_adjtime - NTP daemon application interface
83 * #include <sys/timex.h>
84 * #include <sys/syscall.h>
86 * int syscall(SYS_ntp_adjtime, tptr);
87 * int SYS_ntp_adjtime;
91 * Certain fields of the timex structure are interpreted in either
92 * microseconds or nanoseconds according to the state of the
93 * STA_NANO bit in the status word. See the description below for
94 * further information.

109 * The following defines establish the performance envelope of the
110 * kernel discipline loop. Phase or frequency errors greater than
111 * NAXPHASE or MAXFREQ are clamped to these maxima. For update intervals
112 * less than MINSEC, the loop always operates in PLL mode; while, for
113 * update intervals greater than MAXSEC, the loop always operates in FLL
114 * mode. Between these two limits the operating mode is selected by the
115 * STA_FLL bit in the status word.
