+
+The @code{calc_tickadj} script uses provided ntp drift file to generate optimal
+tick value. Generally, ntpd can do better job if the drift value is the
+smallest possible number. 
+
+The example output of 
+@example
+$ ./calc_tickadj
+81.699 (drift)
+9999 usec; 9999779 nsec
+$ cat /etc/ntp/drift
+-23.159
+@end example
+
+means the following. If tick on that box is 10,000, by making the value 9999
+we'll shift the box from its current drift of -23.159 to a drift of 81.699, and
+in doing so we'll speed the clock up a little every second instead of slowing
+the clock down a little.
+
+If 'tick' on that box is 10,000,000 then by setting it to 9999779 the drift
+value will be somewhere around 0.0.
+
+@code{calc_tickadj} tries to determine the the tick value by using
+@code{tickadj} program from ntp package. If this doesn't work you can specify
+current tick manually on command line.
+
+

+
+This is the automatically generated usage text for calc_tickadj.
+
+The text printed is the same whether selected with the @code{help} option
+(@option{--help}) or the @code{more-help} option (@option{--more-help}).  @code{more-help} will print
+the usage text by passing it through a pager program.
+@code{more-help} is disabled on platforms without a working
+@code{fork(2)} function.  The @code{PAGER} environment variable is
+used to select the program, defaulting to @file{more}.  Both will exit
+with a status code of 0.
