+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+program displays information about the running
+.Xr ntpd 8
+daemon.
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width "-s modifierX"
+.It Fl s Cm all | peers | Sensors | status
+Used to display information about the running daemon.
+Keywords may be abbreviated.
+.Pp
+.Cm all
+shows all data available.
+.Pp
+.Cm 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.
+.Pp
+.Cm 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.
+.Pp
+.Cm 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
+.Xr adjtime 2
+system call, is displayed.
+When the median constraint is set, the offset to the local time is displayed.
